Express Vending Committed To Offsetting Carbon Footprint

Dec. 5, 2007 - PRLog -- The Scottish Parliament proposes similar legislation, but with an even more ambitious target of an 80% reduction by 2050.  Vending supplier Express Vending has confirmed its commitment to offsetting its own carbon footprint with a series of already-operational procedures and company environmental policies.

Demonstrating strength of commitment, Express Vending is already ahead of the game in terms of energy management and sustainability in vending equipment. Machines from Express Vending are fitted with an inbuilt power-saving facility which can reduce power consumption by up to 30%. The innovative and programmable features reduce the boiler temperature during inactive periods over weekends or out of normal working hours. The power saving mode also helps reduce scale build-up within the boiler thereby increasing boiler efficiency.

Express Vending Business Development Manager, Max Kemp said: “Many of our customers make   enquiries about recycling the cups they use in their vending machines. We have strong partnerships with waste management solution providers and also recommend the Save a Cup scheme. This was established by the vending, food service and plastics industries to collect the millions of hard-wall polystyrene cups used in the UK every week. The scheme is administered by the Save a Cup Recycling Company. With more than a billion cups collected so far for recycling, the company's objective is to increase the number of cups collected in line with Government targets for recycling packaging waste”.

It’s not just the machines themselves that are environmentally friendly. The Express Vending fleet is now being renewed to include the latest LPG and electric hybrid cars and vans for operators and engineers in order to reduce emissions and carbon footprint.



Established for over 15 years, Express Vending enjoys a reputation for delivering an extremely personal, efficient and cost effective service. A leading UK supplier of high quality refreshment vending solutions, Express Vending machines are tailored to match the demands of any size and type of organisation.
