Does your business have a sustainability policy, or looking for ways to support the environment?
Sustainability requires collective effort all around, and you too can do your part as a business. Today, many companies are committed to sustainability efforts, such as using recycled materials for their products or reducing their carbon footprint with environmentally conscious processes.
How do Vending Machines fit with your sustainability efforts?
You might think that vending machines consume power, so how can they be part of your sustainability plan? Well, did you know…
- A vending machine only uses approximately the same energy as a refrigerator
- Vending machines can be serviced at a ‘need only’ basis with smart messaging technology and off-site monitoring systems
- Reduced servicing means less time spent on the roads, with less traffic and less carbon emission
- Delivery trucks can be pre-packed for each vending machine; meaning smaller, lighter and more fuel-efficient vehicles can be used
Given the current climate and the recent pandemic, a Vending solution might just be the perfect option to make a start to help our environment while providing a safe workplace for your staff!
Modern Vending Machines also have inbuilt energy-saving functions which include:
- Compact refrigerated cells to avoid unnecessary cooling of control and payment systems
- Double glazed glass to provide better insulation of cabinet, and minimising heat transfer
- Effective cooling of products without power wastage with state-of-the-art efficient airflow inside cells
- Energy-saving mode or sleep mode that can save up to 15% of operation energy and reducing electricity cost
- LED lighting for longer life and very low energy consumption
- Eco-friendly refrigeration gases to minimise carbon footprint and kind to the environment
- Clever machine designs for low-cost disassembly
- Ability to be recycled at the end of their lives
- No usage of PVC, glues, mercury, or thermosetting compositions in machine manufacturing
Caring for the environment doesn’t mean that you cannot provide a snack, meal or beverage option for your visitors and staff. Our Vending Machines love the planet as much as you do, so why not consider a vending solution for your business?
