PLD has focused on diverting waste from landfills throughout our operations to reduce our environmental footprint.
Across our NY facilities alone, PLD has reduced annual electricity usage by 158,430 KW by using energy efficient LED lighting fixtures and motion sensors. This has resulted in an estimated annual energy savings of more than $150,000. For these efforts we were proudly recognized as a “Green Business Leader” from PSEG Long Island.
In conjunction with participating retailers, PLD supports How2Recycle to create standardized labeling that clearly displays recycling instructions to consumers.
