82 TONNES OF CARBON DIOXIDE LESS PER YEAR

Celsa Steel Service Oy is Finland’s biggest upgrader and distributor of reinforcing steels. Its roots extend back to the 19th century and, today, Celsa refines steel at its Espoo, Åminnefors and Pälkäne plants. Environmental protection and responsibility for the environment are among the company’s key values. Celsa has, for example, an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) that is rare in the steel industry, indicating the carbon footprint of its products.

Taking the environment actively into account is a crucial aspect in long-term development at Celsa Steel Service, and only in its day-to-day operations. When they began to renew the lighting of the Pälkäne plant, it was obvious that it would also be done with respect for the environment.

The aim of the new lighting was to conserve energy while maintaining the level of lighting required by the standards. At the same time, the need for care and maintenance was to be decreased. These objectives were easily met with the LED solution proposed by Greenled. In addition, a more uniform lighting was obtained throughout the plant area, while improving the luminous colour and colour rendering.
