Solar & Energy
Unlock the power of sustainability with our cutting-edge Solar and Battery Rooftop System! Boasting a robust 333-kilowatt capacity and an impressive array of 1,232 panels, this eco-friendly marvel has allowed us to make a significant impact on our environmental footprint.
Since its installation, we've successfully eliminated 420 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. That's equivalent to offsetting a remarkable 47% of our site's annual energy consumption! We're not just harnessing sunlight; we're pioneering a greener, more sustainable future.
But our commitment to energy efficiency doesn't end there. Embracing innovation, we've taken bold steps to further reduce our energy consumption. The implementation of energy-efficient lighting solutions, including state-of-the-art LED lights and automated systems in low-traffic areas, showcases our dedication to a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.
Recycling
Embark on a sustainable journey with Llewellyn's as we transform trash into recyclable treasure.
Our commitment to environmental responsibility is evident in the introduction of waste segregation stations across our site. This strategic initiative has enabled us to significantly reduce the amount of waste destined for landfills.
At Llewellyn's, unwanted materials are given a second chance. Through meticulous waste segregation, we ensure that materials are sorted for recycling, re-use, and diversion away from landfills. Join us in making a positive impact on the environment, where every separated item becomes a step towards a greener, more sustainable future.
Water Storage
Dive into our commitment to sustainable practices as we take on the challenge of reducing water consumption with open arms, or rather, an expansive roof that's practically a rain magnet! Our innovative approach involves strategically placed rain tanks, both above and below ground, harnessing the power of rainfall to significantly cut our reliance on mains water.
Every drop we collect counts, serving as a valuable resource to supply amenities and even keep our car washing facility running smoothly. Join us on this eco-conscious journey where rain becomes a vital ally in our mission to conserve water and embrace sustainable solutions.
Tree Day
Join us at Llewellyn Toyota as we roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty for a cause close to our hearts every National Tree Day. Embracing the spirit of Toyota National Tree Day, we've been a part of a movement that has seen over 26 million native trees, shrubs, and grasses planted over the past 24 years.
Locally, we take pride in our contribution to the planting of over 5,000 plants in our community and schools. It's more than just planting; it's a crucial step in our ongoing commitment to offset our carbon footprint and work towards becoming one of the most sustainable businesses in our local community.
Step into the heart of our green initiatives and witness the impact of our collective efforts. At Llewellyn Toyota, every tree planted is a symbol of our dedication to a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
