Norham Plastics, a leading UK injection moulding specialist, has taken a major step forward in its sustainability journey with the installation of solar panels at its manufacturing facility, cutting electricity consumption by an estimated 25%.

This investment marks a significant milestone in the company’s long-term environmental strategy and reflects its broader commitment to energy efficiency, innovation, and future-ready manufacturing.

“As an energy-intensive business, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously,” said a spokesperson for Norham Plastics. “The solar installation is just one part of a wider programme to reduce our carbon footprint while continuing to deliver high-quality, precision-moulded products to customers across a wide range of industries.”

With nearly 40 years of experience in plastic injection moulding, Norham Plastics has built a reputation for reliability, flexibility, and technical expertise. Its production capabilities span components as small as 0.1g up to large parts weighing 20kg, supported by a comprehensive range of machines from 40 to 2700 tonnes in clamping force. The company also offers full-service support, from design collaboration and tooling through to final production, making it a trusted partner for businesses seeking tailored, cost-effective solutions.

In recent years, Norham Plastics has invested heavily in next-generation equipment to boost both efficiency and sustainability. This includes the adoption of energy-efficient machines and gas-assisted injection moulding technology, which reduces material use and cycle times while improving part quality.

Norham Plastics is ISO 14001 certified and continues to explore new ways to improve its environmental performance without compromising on service or output.

“Sustainability is no longer optional, it’s a business imperative,” the spokesperson added. “We’re proud to be helping our customers meet their own sustainability goals through smarter manufacturing.”

As demand grows for low-impact, high-performance plastic components, Norham Plastics is well-positioned to support the needs of forward-thinking manufacturers across the UK and beyond.
