Hotpack Global, UAE’s sustainable packaging solutions firm, has completed the installation of a 2.2 MW rooftop solar power system at its manufacturing facility in National Industries Park (NIP), Dubai. This milestone marks one of the largest solar energy installations in the NIP area, reinforcing the company’s commitment to renewable energy adoption and environmental sustainability.
The solar system is expected to generate approximately 3.52 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy annually, significantly reducing Hotpack’s reliance on conventional power sources. Additionally, the initiative is projected to cut 2,992 metric tons of CO₂ emissions per year, which is equivalent to planting over 142,476 trees annually.
By integrating solar power, Hotpack Global strengthens its sustainability agenda, aligning with the UAE’s clean energy transition goals and further establishing itself as a leader in eco-friendly packaging manufacturing.
“We are proud of our team’s dedication and the strides we have made in integrating sustainable practices into our operations. Sustainability is not just a responsibility but a core business strategy for Hotpack. The completion of this solar project is a monumental step towards our vision of becoming a carbon-neutral packaging company. By leveraging renewable energy, we are reducing our environmental footprint while ensuring long-term operational efficiency and cost savings,” said Abdul Jebbar PB, CEO & Managing Director of Hotpack Global.
He added: “This initiative is in line with the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 goals, and we take pride in contributing to the nation’s clean energy transition. It reinforces our commitment to sustainability and renewable energy while aligning with the UAE’s broader environmental vision for a greener future.”
Zainudeen PB, Chief Operating Officer of Hotpack Global, emphasized the project’s impact on the company’s operations: “As a market leader in food packaging solutions, we continuously strive to integrate sustainability into our production processes. This solar project enhances our energy independence, ensuring that we operate with greater efficiency and lower emissions. Our investment in renewable energy is a testament to Hotpack’s commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible manufacturing.”
Highlighting the technological significance of the project, Anvar PB, Chief Technology Officer of Hotpack Global, stated: “The adoption of solar energy at our National Industries Park facility is a major technological milestone. It showcases our ability to blend cutting-edge innovation with sustainability. This project is just the beginning—we will continue to explore and invest in advanced energy-efficient solutions to further minimize our carbon footprint and drive the future of green manufacturing.”
Hotpack Global’s dedication to sustainability goes beyond this solar project. The company actively integrates eco-conscious initiatives into its operations and continues to invest in innovative, responsible manufacturing processes.
As part of its broader environmental strategy, Hotpack has implemented a circular supply chain, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials into production to ensure plastic waste is repurposed into new packaging solutions. The company has also introduced H-rPET (Hotpack modified recycled PET) technology, which blends recycled PET with advanced polymers to create lightweight, durable, and fully recyclable packaging.
Further reinforcing its commitment to waste reduction, Hotpack launched the Eco Loop recycling initiative in collaboration with RECAPP by Veolia, expanding its waste collection and recycling efforts across facilities and partner locations. These initiatives align with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategy, further establishing Hotpack as a driving force behind sustainability in the packaging industry.
With continuous efforts to enhance energy efficiency and explore renewable energy solutions, Hotpack Global remains dedicated to leading the transition toward a more sustainable future in the packaging sector.
