Renewable energy capacity expands with on-site solar projects. Donaldson has expanded its capacity to produce renewable electricity with the completion of an array at the DAGS I plant in Aguascalientes, Mexico. We have now completed four solar projects in Mexico, including systems at DAGS II, DAGS III, and the Latin America Distribution Center (LADC). The solar panels will produce more than 2,900,000 kWh of clean power annually and will reduce more than 1,240 metric tons of CO2e emissions.

Joint solar project in the United States starts producing renewable electricity. Donaldson joined a virtual power purchase agreement with PepsiCo last year, tied to a solar energy project in Texas that has recently been completed. With the system now operational, the project is expected to offset a majority of Donaldson’s U.S. electrical energy demand. This investment supports our decarbonization efforts and aligns with customers who are committed to carbon‑reduction goals across their supply chains.

Teams work to divert waste from landfills through packaging choices. One example of this effort is a packaging initiative being implemented across multiple locations in North America and Europe. Sites have started switching to a new pallet wrap made from Megaplast fiber stretch film. This material is recyclable and uses less plastic than our previous wrap while providing the same performance. This material helps us reduce our waste to landfill and increase our recycling, especially on shipments sent to other Donaldson facilities.
