Initiatives

Lannett is dedicated to making a difference in the manufacturing processes. Here are how we are taking actions in our facilities to reduce our environmental footprint:

Seymour, IN:

Chiller Staging Controls – Controls will be implemented to stage the restart of chillers after restarts and/or power failures. Instead of coming on-line simultaneously units will restart based on load demand to decrease energy usage and costs.

Paper Recycling & Document Destruction – The facility has partnered with a local vendor to shred documents for material reuse instead of incineration. The facility plans to divert approximately 15 tons of material from incineration to material reuse in FY2021.

Carmel, NY:

Interior Lighting Replacement – Interior light fixtures will be replaced with LEDs. Projected annual energy savings is approximately 2% of current facility usage

Chilled Water Process Improvements – A closed-loop chilled water system will be installed to cool batch process tanks in lieu of single-pass domestic water cooling to decrease freshwater used and energy needed to maintain system temperatures.
