They reduce their amount of energyusage using various energy saving initiatives. One example is usinglight-switches with motion detectors. That means that the lights areonly turned on if someone walks along the corridor. They also reducethe energy by using new modern machines, which have a higherefficiency than the older ones, and they do a lot of tests to find outhow you can reduce the amount of materials you need to produce abottle. By using fewer materials you can save compressed air, heatand resources, and of course you reduce the pollution of the air.37
