AMHERST, N.Y.—Ivoclar Inc. North America announced an investment in solar energy to power its Amherst, NY corporate headquarters.

The nearly $1 million clean energy project started in 2020 and completed in December 2021 is projected to supply the 100,000-square-foot facility with 750 MWh of energy per year with any unused energy returned to the grid for the benefit of the community.

The project included the installation of 1,640 solar panels and benefits the environment by saving the emissions of approximately 532 metric tons CO2 yearly into the air, the equivalent of planting approximately 8,789 trees per year. The company estimates that 65% of its annual energy requirement will be generated by this project.

In addition to the solar panel project, Ivoclar North America has created an internal task force to explore and evaluate a cleaner and more sustainable business operation. Some of these initiatives include new packaging and transportation solutions, utilization of hybrid vehicles and reducing plastic water bottle usage.
