The ARRAY Technologies launches reusable plastic packaging to enhance sustainability and reduce costs
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Sept. 10, 2024 — ARRAY Technologies (NASDAQ: ARRY) (“ARRAY” or the “Company”), a global leader in utility-scale solar tracking, today announced the launch of a groundbreaking reusable packaging solution designed to replace traditional cardboard boxes with durable, reusable plastic casing. This innovative packaging is set to significantly reduce waste and contribute to the sustainability goals of ARRAY’s customers.
The new reusable bulk packaging is designed to maximize efficiency, allowing for the transportation of more tracker components per bulk compared to traditional cardboard packaging. This improvement allows more material to be shipped in each pallet, reducing the total number of trucks required on-site and decreasing the overall labor associated with material handling, receiving, and transportation. With a lifespan of 15 years, the reusable packaging seamlessly moves between the finished goods supplier, customer sites, and third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses as needed, streamlining the entire supply chain and enhancing its eco-friendly impact.
“It is critical for the renewable energy sector to lead the way in promoting and implementing reusable options that reduce waste and create a healthier environment,” said Kevin G. Hostetler, chief executive officer at ARRAY. “ARRAY’s business model inherently revolves around making the world more sustainable, and part of being renewable means embracing reusable. We’re eager to begin working with our customers to introduce new packaging and help make the supply chain for solar products as environmentally friendly and cost-effective as the energy source itself.”
Reusable packaging is already proving its significant value on solar project sites. After deploying this concept on a recent project, ARRAY’s customers have shown strong interest in implementing it for future installations, recognizing the potential for cost savings and sustainability benefits. This initiative aligns with ARRAY’s ongoing commitment to reducing its environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices within the renewable energy sector.
ARRAY continues to set industry standards, not only through its innovative solar tracking solutions but also by ensuring that its operations and products are as sustainable as the energy they help generate. The company is actively looking to pilot this initiative with additional customers to further analyze the potential savings and environmental impacts, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability across the solar industry.
