Sofidel Commissions New Photovoltaic System in the United Kingdom

Sofidel has announced the start of operations of a new photovoltaic system at its production facility in the United Kingdom, as part of its ongoing efforts to expand renewable energy use across its industrial sites.

The installation is designed to generate electricity for on-site consumption, contributing to the company’s strategy of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency in its tissue production operations. The project forms part of Sofidel’s broader investment plan aimed at increasing the share of energy derived from renewable sources.

According to the company, the photovoltaic system will support the decarbonization of its manufacturing processes by lowering reliance on externally sourced electricity and reducing the carbon footprint associated with production. The initiative aligns with Sofidel’s long-term sustainability targets and its commitment to responsible resource management.

The UK installation is one of several renewable energy projects implemented by the group across its international footprint. Sofidel has been progressively integrating solar energy solutions into its facilities to enhance environmental performance while maintaining operational continuity.

The company stated that such projects are part of a wider roadmap focused on energy transition, which includes investments in innovation, efficiency improvements, and the adoption of cleaner technologies in its production processes.

Sofidel operates in the tissue paper sector, supplying products for both consumer and professional use across multiple markets.
