The United Kingdom Warehousing
Association is working with the
Carbon Trust on an ’emissions toolkit’
to help warehouse operators cut both
their carbon footprint and costs.

Keith Horgan, Carbon Trust
partnership development manager,
says lighting and heating are areas
for the energy and carbon saving
focus.He believes the UK warehousing
industry could save £150m in energy
costs and 1.5m tonnes of carbon by
making simple changes.

The Carbon Trust is undertaking
site surveys and workshops with
UKWA members to evaluate
opportunities for savings, the results
of which are expected by April 2010
and will be used to produce a
bespoke emissions toolkit.
