You've heard the saying "Do as I say, not as I do"? That's something that could never stick to us. We can't be hypocritical about delivering a green message without being green ourselves. We take our efforts toward ecologically-responsible environmental stewardship seriously. We also can help you bring those efforts to your workplace. Here are some off the ways we conserve and reduce our carbon footprint that you can do too:
- We care about the depletion of natural springs and the waste associated with individual plastic bottles. That's why we've eliminated bottling individual water bottles. We only bottle in reusable 3 and 5 gallon bottles, which are convenient and practical bottled water options for your office. If bottles of purified water aren't your thing we also offer a full range of on-site filtration solutions.
- Disposable coffee filters of any size create waste. Our office coffee business - Brioni's Ultra Premium Coffees - offers sustainable alternatives to traditional coffee brewing methods. Brioni's boasts a full line of super automatic single-cup brewers that deliver single servings at the touch of a button without disposable filter waste. Better than whole pot drip coffee, the single-cup brewers offer a fresh, quality cup of coffee instead of a brew that's been sitting on a burner for hours. State-of-the-art machines use only 110 volts of electricity as opposed to 220 volts and generate only compostable waste in the form of coffee grounds.
- We'll fight for your right to drink coffee. But if your office drinks a lot (way to go!) you might want to think about adopting a sustainable cup program. We can help you end Styrofoam and plastic-lined paper cup waste by using ceramic cups or "ecotainer" cups which are to-go paper cups with a corn oil-based inside liner as opposed to a petroleum-based liner. With corn oil, the cup is compostable and recyclable.
