Enersys

 

NexSys® TPPL batteries from EnerSys® offer a sustainable, maintenance-free power solution that balances productivity with environmental responsibility. Using Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology, they deliver reliable performance in material handling and floor care applications. Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, they are up to 12% more energy efficient, reducing CO2 emissions and operating costs. Their sealed design eliminates water top-offs and washing, lowering water use and maintenance needs. Up to 99% recyclable, they also support circular economy goals by cutting material waste. Combining efficiency, recyclability, and ease of use, NexSys® TPPL batteries enable businesses to meet sustainability and performance targets.

NORD GEAR Limited

The NORD ECO solution is nominated for the MHEA Sustainability Award for its role in advancing energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Using the innovative NORD ECO Box, it performs detailed energy consumption analyses of drive systems over time, identifying oversized or inefficient drives and uncovering opportunities for energy savings and CO2 reduction. By evaluating real-time load patterns and power usage, it enables precise optimisation, lowering costs in maintenance, wear, logistics, and administration. Applicable to both NORD and third-party components, the solution has been proven across over 100 industries. NORD ECO empowers companies to make informed, data-driven decisions that improve sustainability.

ProSpare Limited

 

ProSpare Ltd is proud to highlight its success in achieving a fully sustainable, net-zero energy operation. Following a bold move in 2022, the company eliminated fossil fuels by creating a 100% electric, highly insulated building. Within a year, on-site solar generation enabled ProSpare not only to power all operations but also to export clean electricity back to the grid. This practical, affordable approach proves that decarbonisation can be delivered quickly and profitably. Beyond its own success, ProSpare has inspired supply chain partners to adopt renewable solutions, amplifying its positive impact and demonstrating true leadership in sustainability.
