Eco-friendly vending machine is pioneered in UK Schools
Published:  07 July, 2011

A new eco-friendly vending machine from The Green Drinks Company, which offers substantial energy savings and the lowest carbon footprint of any cold drinks vending machine in the world, is being pioneered in schools following successful schools trials. The Pouchlink™ is 80% more energy efficient than a conventional cold drinks vending system as 90% of all drinks are water and it removes water from the supply chain.

The system filters mains water, momentarily flash chills it, mixing it with fresh fruit concentrate before packaging the drink in a flat-packed flexible pouch.  The flash chill facility momentarily chills drinks as they are made rather than having to refrigerate them constantly, which uses £200 a year less electricity than a traditional vending machine.  The 1000 pouch capacity, which is up to four times greater than a conventional vending machine, means less frequent re-stocking.

Schools can choose from a selection of schools compliant water-based fruit drinks, which are free of sugar, artificial colours and artificial flavours as well as the One Water charity owned brand.  Independent schools and colleges can also choose from a range of branded drinks including Vimto, Sunkist, Pomegreat and Bottlegreen.

The Green Drinks Company is offering schools a free two week trial and up to 1000 free drinks when a machine is installed.
