Sustainable products

We all recognise the impact of climate change and the need to become more sustainable in what we do.

At Spirax Group, we consider the whole life cycle of our products, and look for ways to reduce any negative environmental impacts.

We are implementing systems to embed eco-design into our processes, for existing and new products that reduce the impact that we, our customers and our suppliers make on the environment.

Helping customers to decarbonise their processes

Spirax Sarco, part of Steam Thermal Solutions together with Chromalox, part of Electric Thermal Solutions, implemented a no-downtime solution to help a gin manufacturer decarbonise its steam system, using Electrofit, from our TargetZero range. The manufacturer, a subsidiary of multinational drinks company, Diageo, wanted to achieve net zero emissions across its direct operations and only use renewable sources of energy by 2030. We identified an existing asset on site that maintained production while we converted the boiler’s infrastructure from carbon-heavy gas-fired burners to renewable electricity. By switching to renewable energy sources, the company removed both scope 1 and scope 2 emissions from its operations well ahead of its 2030 target.
