One of Old Orchard's primary objectives in its sustainability program is energy conservation.  We have made several steps significant steps to increase energy efficiency at our plant, including the following:

In 2005, during a routine audit of our manufacturing efficiency, the company discovered it could utilize its cold process water to pre-cool its cooler water, and, in turn, use its post-heated cooler water to preheat juice prior to the pasteurization process.  Adaptation of this process has eliminated nearly $250,000 worth of natural gas required annually to operate a boiler.

The company also employs electric energy conservation through the use of high-efficiency HID lighting and fluorescent lighting that exceeds the efficacy of incandescent bulbs by 75% to 90% annually.

Furthermore, the company manufacturing facility was architecturally designed to include natural daylight windows and skylights.  All lighting in the office is turned off when not in use for any extended period of time.
