Recycling and Waste Management

It is becoming increasingly important for individuals and businesses to think about the environment and take steps to protect it. Express Vending is committed to operating all our facilities in accordance with company environmental policies and all applicable laws and regulations. We have a strong partnership with F&R Cawley - experts in providing waste management solutions. They help us to achieve all the points below:

Train and encourage our employees to conduct their activities in an environmentally responsible manner.
Conserve natural resources through careful planning and efficient use.
Minimize waste through source reduction and recycling.
Handle and dispose of wastes through safe, environmentally responsible methods.
Conduct regular environmental assessments at our facilities and make recommendations for improvements.
Encourage our business partners to strive for the same high levels of environmental performance.

We are happy to recommend F&R Cawley to all our clients and business partners to help them with all their recycling needs.

Many of our customers are making enquiries about recycling the cups they use in their vending machines. One option is to use a waste management company like F&R Cawley who will help them recycle all their waste including used vending cups. Another option is to use save a cup.

The Save a Cup scheme 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.

We are happy to help all our customers and prospective customers get in touch with save a cup.

Power-saving facility on our vending machines

Express Vending are ahead of the game in terms of energy management and sustainability in vending equipment. All machines from Etna, Westomatic and N and W 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.

Dual Fuel Vans

We are now purchasing the latest LPG and electric hybrid cars and vans for our operators and engineers in order to reduce emissions and our carbon footprint. This is just another step in our aim to help the environment.
