Going Green

Macke Water Systems is synonymous with “going green.”  For 18 years we have been educating businesses on the positive effects of our bottle-less water coolers on the environment. 

Additionally, we have exclusively promoted the use of our thermal coffee brewers instead of the glass pots, which significantly reduces energy consumption and waste.

We even go further.  In 2007, we started updating our fleet service vehicles to vehicles averaging over a 20% increase in fuel mileage.  This helps us reduce fuel consumption, reduce harmful emissions and reduce our carbon footprint while servicing our customers.

We have also continued to introduce environmentally friendly products including plates, plastic ware, cups, and other items to provide our customers with choices to help them contribute to being “green.
 

Our shipping department’s goal is to utilize only recycled products (boxes, packaging material, etc…) for its shipping needs, and we continuously search for new green opportunities in all aspects of our business.

Some easy tips for going green :

Refrain from bottled water, especially the ones known to leach plastic into the water.

  • Eliminate the 5 gallon water jugs, because they are environmentally unfriendly. 
  • Refill your own glass instead of using disposable cups.
  • Avoid using plastic bottles that are marked on the bottom with the numbers 3, 6 or 7 as they may leach toxins into the water.
  • Immediately replace your glass pot coffee brewers with thermal coffee pots to realize an immediate energy savings.
