A lot of companies talk about being green, but Filterfresh has programs that put our green ideas into action. In addition to our Committed to Caring program, we work hard to provide you Choices@work that help you be Green @ Work as well. Of course, we’re always looking for ideas about more ways we can be green, so if you have any suggestions please contact us, or submit your comments below. Here’s what we’re doing:
Committed to Caring
One way Filterfresh strives to help improve our global community is by participating a social and environmental program started by our associate company, Van Houtte, called Committed to Caring. We do this by:
- Recycling paper and waste products, and encouraging electronic, rather than paper, communication in our plant and offices to reduce waste.
- Implementing green measures in our coffee plant, such as avoiding roasting systems that pollute, and using recycled heat and energy, and fluorescent lighting.
- Developing programs with global and community non-profit organizations, such as Coffee Kids, which helps to improve the quality of life of children and families in coffee-growing communities.
Green @ Work
We offer you green and sustainable choices for coffee & beverage programs to help you create a greener workplace. Your Choices@Work for environmental responsibility include:
- A variety of Fair Trade & Organic coffees and teas in many brands and blends, including Swiss Water Process decafs.
- A number of environmentally friendly brewers and brewing programs for customers.
- A large selection of earth-friendly accessory products.
- The Source H2O water filtration system (exclusively through Filterfresh)
- Waste-to-Energy program recycling for Keurig K-cups and Terracycle for Flavia Filterpacks (in select markets).
Terracycle is a unique combination of a recycling and reusing program that turns used Flavia Filterpacks into new products.
Have some green ideas?
If you have more ideas for us, we’d love to hear them. What is your company doing to be green?
