Stell Starts 2025 with £400K investment in Solar Power

Stell has committed to a further £400K investment in solar power generation. This adds a further 380KW generating capacity to our existing 120KW array, giving us a 500KW array in total. 

This investment decision encouraged the positive conclusions drawn by our external ISO 14001 auditor following the audit in December. The report also highlighted the many other environmental improvements we have  made in the last 12 months, such as reductions in electricity usage, raw material waste and compressed air usage. 

As a fifth-generation family-owned firm, we manufacture cardboard tube and core products and supply over 16,000km of cardboard tubes across the UK and Europe each year from our facility in Keighley.

We have a long track record of continuous improvement of our facilities and process to reduce our environmental footprint. Our factory is heated from sustainable biomass, lit by latest generation LEDs and all waste streams are measured, managed and reduced. 

Speaking about our latest investment Sam Stell, director of Stell says: “As a UK cardboard core and tube manufacturer, we take our environmental footprint very seriously. We’re ISO 14001 accredited and we invest heavily in clean tech, so we’re well underway in our net zero journey”.  

“Since our founding in 1872, our processes have evolved countless times, but our dedication to environmental responsibility has remained a constant. By thoroughly reviewing and refining our operations, we have aligned with globally recognised environmental benchmarks, providing our customers with the assurance that they are partnering with a manufacturer dedicated to promoting eco-friendly practices throughout its supply chain.”
