Help the Environment with Flavia

By Steve Jackson

Flavia is a brand of drinks machines and drinks from the worldwide food corporation, Mars. As part of their ongoing quest for sustainability in the environment, Mars has implemented its Thirsty for Change programme, which Flavia proudly supports through providing machines and drinks that adhere to the programme.

In particular, the Flavia Creation 400 machine has been developed to be as energy efficient as possible. One of the ways this works is that the machine heats just enough water to serve a few drinks at a time, so as not to waste electricity on heating a full tank every time someone wants a drink.

On top of that, the water that is heated is only heated to exactly the right temperature, rather than reaching boiling point as in most other drinks machines. In independent tests, these factors lead to the Flavia Creation 400 being declared one of the most energy efficient machines available.

Of course, these features don't just help the environment. Avoiding unnecessary boiling of water, and only heating a small amount of water each time, helps to save you money through not having to use as much electricity. So Flavia helps you save the environment and save money at the same time.

As part of its environmental campaign, Mars has targeted three main areas in which it wishes to tackle waste. These are the drinks machines, the actual drinks, and the packaging associated with each. On top of this, they've introduced new systems for collection and recycling that customers can take advantage of.

The mantra for Mars and Flavia is the same as that for the whole environmentally sustainable industry - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. So Flavia have developed their products, including their drinks cartons, to be reusable wherever possible, manufactured from reusable materials, and to be recyclable as much as they can.

Further to this approach, Mars has implemented a policy of sourcing its drinks ingredients from sustainable businesses. In co-operation with such organisations as Fairtrade and the Rainforest Alliance, Flavia ingredients are produced by sustainable and responsible farming techniques all over the world.

So it can be seen that Mars and Flavia are leading the way when it comes to a commitment to the environment. The products themselves are as environmentally friendly as possible, and the suppliers of the main ingredients are also dedicated to promoting and achieving sustainability on a long term basis.
