At Amphenol Hungary, environmental awareness is a part of our everyday life. It defines our way of thinking, and it is part of our action plans.
This aspiration is well supported by the recent development of our company in Hungary. In the spirit of environmental awareness, we installed solar panels and a small household-sized power plant at our company’s premises in December 2022. As a result of the utilization of renewable energy, no harmful by-products are produced, and no water is needed to produce energy. Additionally, all materials in a solar cell can be recycled, contrary to popular belief.
Another good example of environmentally conscious thinking is the usage of returnable packaging in our factory in Cserkút. This way we’re eliminating the generation of huge amounts of solid waste compared to single-use packaging materials. This solution is cost-effective and is beneficial for the environment.
To illustrate the importance of switching to returnable packaging, here is some shocking data: in 2022, when our company used single-use paper packaging until the month of August, we used more than 130,000 kg, which is nearly 5,000 pallets of paper, in these 7 months alone. By switching to returnable packaging, we reduced this number to zero.
Additionally, we’re working only with suppliers that adhere to our Environmental and Social standards and practices.
Enabling Green Energy Design
Our rugged connectors help support vertical farming and agrivoltaics applications.
Enabling Green Energy Design
Vertical farming is a new agricultural process where crops are grown on top of each other in a warehouse or greenhouse setting. Growing crops vertically conserves space versus traditional farming and allows crop production to happen anywhere. When crop production is combined with solar power, which is known as agrivoltaics, the environmental benefits are even greater. Our Amphenol LTW business has developed a broad series of waterproof circular connectors for harsh environments which are being used in vertical farming, agrivoltaics and other rugged applications to support these more efficient agricultural processes.
Reducing our Carbon Footprint
Across Amphenol, we are installing solar panels to help reduce our energy use and costs.
Reducing our Carbon Footprint
Our global facilities continue to support our emissions reduction goals through proactive and innovative actions that reduce their environmental footprint and conserve resources, while at the same time helping our facilities save on energy costs.
Throughout 2022, several Amphenol facilities installed on-site solar panels to increase their renewable electricity consumption and decrease their dependency on fossil fuels. During the extreme energy cost fluctuations seen in Europe during 2022, these installations helped provide a continuous and stable source of energy for these facilities. Combined, these installations have begun to produce almost 600 MWh of energy, with significant increases expected in 2023, which will be their first full year of operation. In addition, these successful solar installments have inspired other Amphenol facilities to consider increasing their renewable energy consumption, with more sites planning to commence or expand existing installations in 2023.
Supporting our Communities
Recycling to help support children with cancer in our local neighborhoods.
Supporting our Communities
Amphenol Advanced Sensors – Tijuana, Mexico
During 2022, we started a campaign called “Banco de Tapitas” at two of our facilities in Mexico to collect plastic bottle caps to raise funds for the Children’s Anticancer Alliance. The Alliance helps pay for chemotherapy treatment for children with cancer at a local hospital in Baja, California. Bottle caps were collected on-site in heart-shaped containers and sent to a recycling center to be processed. Since the start of Banco de Tapitas, the program has collected and recycled approximately 0.5 tons of plastic bottle caps and raised enough funds for the Children’s Anticancer Alliance to provide a child with pediatric cancer treatments in 2022.
