Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson recently announced that the Department of Environmental Quality has announced its annual environmental awards.
The winner of the TECHe Award is the Husqvarna Group, which is the world’s largest producer of outdoor power products. At its Plastic Injection Molding operation in Nashville, Arkansas, Husqvarna launched a program to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by one-third before the end of 2035. To reach that goal, Husqvarna installed a 1.4-megawatt solar-panel array, which generates approximately 30 percent of the facility’s annual electricity need. That saved the company $138,000 over the past 12-months and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 33,000 metric tons per year.
Governor Hutchinson says these are just a few examples of the way the best in Arkansas are creating a business-friendly environment that also conserves our natural resources.
