Singapore's first "green" factory embraces environmentally friendly practices
Greenhub - Singapore's first "green" factory - was officially opened on Thursday by Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam. The factory embraces environmentally friendly processes all the way from its construction down to its daily operations.
It has self-tinting windows that act as a natural cooler, regulating excess sunlight and heat. There are also solar panels on the rooftop which help offset the office space's annual energy consumption of 160,000 kilowatt-hours per year. The excess electricity generated is sold off to Singapore Power.
Greenhub is owned by Greenpac, a company that offers redesigned packaging solutions that encourage environmental sustainability.
