Green Initiative

United Pacific Industries takes great pride in our environmental stewardship. Our goal is to manage our 131,912 square-foot warehouse and office with the state-of-art green building including Tesla Solar Panels and LED lighting. All corrugated boxes are recycled to help reduce waste and an electric vehicle charging was installed to help encourage environmentally conscious commuting.

Our Green initiatives result in a LEED Certification for building. We are committed to raise environmental awareness and local community of green-thinking.

Tesla Solar

With United Pacific’s goal for sustainability, one of the biggest improvements to the Long Beach headquarters was the installation of Tesla 300 kW DC solar panels on the roof. Our passion for forward-thinking of the environment has led us to team up with the best in the business when it comes to solar technology. With as large a facility as United Pacific is at 131,912 square-feet, we saw it as an opportunity to cover the top of our building with solar panels to help power our office and warehouse.
