On March 19, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency congratulated manufacturing plants within the EPA Mid-Atlantic Region that earned ENERGY STAR certification for 2020, including Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc. in Reading, a commercial bread and roll baker

The plant is among 95 nationwide to be recognized for being among the most energy-efficient in the U.S.

“These forward-looking businesses have demonstrated that economic development and job creation go hand-in-hand with environmental progress,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “The transition to a clean energy economy is happening now, as partnerships like ENERGY STAR encourage companies to go the extra mile, bringing innovation, cost-savings and pollution reductions in return.”

Nationally, these plants are the most energy-efficient in their industry and have saved nearly $400 million on energy bills. That’s enough to support the annual wages of nearly 9,000 US manufacturing jobs.
