Sustainability

Our vending and coffee solutions promote sustainable practices by reducing the need for single-use plastics which are wasteful and harm the environment.  When self-service materials such as cups and spoons are included, these are made from paper, with 80% of used materials being recycled at the end.

Our team works tirelessly to ensure every machine we supply is rated A for energy efficiency. The coffee and vending machines we service include built-in energy-saving features to reduce power consumption, as well as LED lighting and reusable cup incentives. At the end of their life, our machines are easily refurbished or recycled.

We source all our water sustainably and, when the solutions we offer require plumbing, provide clean and durable installations to water supplies for specific luxury coffee or hot beverage machines. The machines we supply are incredibly water efficient, so water wastage is diminished as well. 

UTL Vending has worked with UTZ Certified from the beginning to ensure our coffee beans are sourced from ethical and sustainable practices. As an independent hallmark of sustainable coffee and tea, UTZ Certified stands for the wellbeing of farmers, their families and the environment they work in. We’re proud to be partnered with them.

Vending is a sustainable solution for businesses—especially those who are operating from rural premises. Having an on-site vending solution at work reduces the need for staff to make car trips, in turn reducing their daily carbon emissions. By centralising your business’ snack and beverage consumption, we lessen not only waste but pollutants in the workplace.

At UTL Vending, we encourage our staff to reduce their carbon emissions through on-site vending, work-from-home and cycle-to-work schemes. We prioritise staff sustainability and as a team always strive for greater levels of eco-awareness. We’re all on the same planet, so we make sure we’re all on the same page.
