LONDON, UK- The systems aims to reduce the environmental impact Strong Vend’s business activities have whilst saving money which can be ploughed into more energy-saving initiatives.
The new system’s core aims are as follows:
• Pollution Prevention – Cutting pollution across all areas of business active
• Fostering Recycling – Introduce recycling systems both in office and throughout Strong Vend’s warehouse.
• Energy Conservation – Reduce our energy usage across all energy forms, curtailing all unnecessary energy use.
• Expand our range green products – Help our clients help the environment by providing them with more recyclable and green products for their vending and coffee machines.
The bean to cup coffee machine specialist aims to meet the following targets:
• Reduce company waste by 20%
• Introduce companywide recycling
• Reduce company energy consumption by 18%
Strong Vend aims to achieve these targets through various methods. Firstly all Strong Vend premises will be fitted with energy efficient lighting.
Secondly, a recycling system for plastics, metals (such as drinks cans) and paper and card (including coffee machine cups) will be implemented across all Strong Vend offices and warehouses. Considering the amount of Strong Vend vending and coffee machine stock which arrives in cardboard
boxes, recycling these alone will amount to nearly a 20% reduction in waste to landfill.
Finally, all Strong Vend staff will undergo in-house energy efficiency training to highlight how individual team members can make a difference:
• By switching off computer monitors at the end of the day
• By shutting off lights and checking all monitors are switched off in the event of being the last team member in the office
• By ensuring paper, card and metal and plastics are separated from food items and are placed into in-office recycling bins rather than thrown away with general waste
• By, where possible, sharing lifts to and from work (or carpooling)
The new Environmental Management System is being run in accordance with requirements contained within ISO:14001 and Strong Vend aims to be fully accredited within a year. Strong Vend takes environmental and ethical concerns very seriously- do you?
