The majority of the newer machines we provide are energy rated A+. They also use energy efficient, long lasting LED lighting. Many machines also come with an energy learning mode, powering the machine down at typical downtimes offering energy savings of upto 30% compared to traditional vending machines. Our hot drinks machines also contain refillable ingredient canisters, cutting the waste associated with pod and cartridge machines.

Where possible our machines are refurbished to an ‘as new’ state and sent back out into the field. At the end of a machines life, all parts are stripped and salvaged and used as spare parts, anything that can’t be reused is disposed of in accordance with the WEEE regulations. We only use licensed and registered disposal companies.

As you can imagine – our operators get through a lot of packaging per week including cardboard boxes and plastic wrapping. All the waste we generate is returned to our distribution warehouse and sorted for recycling, our intention is that nothing recyclable is sent to landfill.

All of our vehicle fleet are fitted with the latest in tracking technology, all routes are planned to minimise fuel consumption and reduce journey distances. Our tracking system also records things such as speed, acceleration and braking. We monitor our teams driving and encourage them to drive more carefully.

Most of our invoicing is now paperless, contact our credit control department today to switch to paperless billing. Our team endeavour to use less paper and we have reduced our paper consumption by 70%. All of our printers also use refillable ink cartridges to reduce landfill waste. We also encourage our team to power off devices not in use.
