Pioneering Sustainability Efforts Earn Lemoore West Global Responsibility Award

Leprino recently named the Resource Conservation Team at the Lemoore (West), California facility the 2024 Leprino Quality Continuous Improvement (LQCI) Global Responsibility Team of the Year. The “Carbon Moo-tral Resource Conservation Team” was recognized for exceptional environmental stewardship and innovation.

Over the past year, the team completed nine major projects that collectively saved over 1 million kWh of electricity, 40,000 Therms, 15 million gallons of water and nearly $350,000 in costs, while reducing emissions by almost 550 MTCO2e. Project initiatives included:

  • Compressed air optimization
  • Powder conveying change
  • Electrical blowers for sanitation in box maker room
  • Sonic blowers installation
  • Optimize hot gas on cold storage evaporators
  • Seal water recovery upgrade
  • Boiler automatic blowdown

The team’s efforts demonstrate how small changes can make a big difference. By improving systems, fixing inefficiencies and finding ways to save resources, the plant’s operations are more sustainable and cost-effective.

Congratulations to the Lemoore West team for setting an exemplary bar in sustainability and innovation!
