On April 5, staff, friends and supporters of Colormaker Industries gathered to celebrate the company’s recent sustainability achievements.
The Sustainability Celebration marked the official launch of the 144 kWh ReVolve battery and honoured Colormaker winning three Sustainability Awards over the last year.
The groundbreaking ReVolve battery technology, made from nine second-life Nissan Leaf EV batteries, is the first in the world to be fully certified, commissioned and operating commercially, in this case, as a solar sponge.
Two years in the making, this is a major milestone on Colormaker’s pathway to Net Zero by 2025, as now its paint and ink production can be completed entirely with electricity produced by its solar array and stored in the ReVolve battery.
Colormaker has saved a huge 690 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions through the electricity produced from its 100-kW solar array, installed four years ago. The array also powers a fleet of electric vans for local deliveries and EVs for staff commuting long distances to work.
Colormaker also commemorates winning the Solar Alliance’s 2023 Solar Champion Award, the 2023 Northern Beaches Council Business Sustainability Award and the Business NSW Excellence in Sustainability Award for Metro Sydney.
