Georgia-Pacific Earns EPA Energy Star Certification At Big Island Facility Atlanta, Georgia based Georgia-Pacific announced that its Big Island containerboard facility in Virginia earned its first EPA Energy Star Certification for energy efficiency this year. The facility joins two other Georgia-Pacific facilities – Brewton containerboard in Brewton, Alabama, and Leaf River Cellulose in New Augusta, Mississippi, in this recog- nition for environmental stewardship. Select manufacturing plants located in the U.S. and its territories and Canada can earn Energy Star certification by achieving a score of 75 or higher using an industry-spe- cific Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) benchmarking tool. The EPIs measure a plant’s energy performance and compare it to that of similar plants nationwide, generating a score on an EPA scale of 1 to 100. The program, launched in 1992, encourages organizations to improve energy effi- ciency, which not only helps the bottom line, but also the environment.
