Sustainability

Borg employ economic and sustainable measures across sites nationwide, recognising the necessity of creating an eco-friendly industrial landscape.

The Australian Panels’ Oberon site has various recycling efforts in place, reducing carbon emissions and diverting waste from landfill. Significantly, Australian Panels have been investing in solar power since 2018. Over the last 2 years the company has installed over 53,000 solar panels across its network of facilities, thereby becoming more energy efficient and avoiding 10,500 tonnes of Co2 emissions per year. The Oberon site alone has 27,000 solar panels and is the largest rooftop solar system in Australia to date, capable of generating 10 megawatts of energy.

The collection of dust, bark and waste biomass produces fuel to power manufacturing plants, whilst MDF board offcuts are repurposed into pallets and bearers to generate packaging from waste materials.

Borg aim to lessen the environmental impact of manufacturing by promoting vertical integration and an industrial ecosystem, whilst being socially responsible and supporting safe workplaces.
