Companies are making more efforts each year to promote sustainability in business aspects by developing eco-friendly products and practices. You’ve probably seen the “go-green” logos on products and advertisements along with give-back programs promoted by various businesses and organizations. But did you also know that your ice might be green?
Not literally…so you can keep sipping on that drink you were about to spit out.
Ice-O-Matic, one of the world’s leading commercial ice machine manufacturers, is devoted to maintaining sustainable business practices in every aspect of the company and is partnered with American Forests’ Global ReLeaf program. In addition to using recyclable materials in packaging and manufacturing Ice-O-Matic also recycles all of their industrial and office waste products. And most importantly Ice-O-Matic plants a tree for every ice machine they sell as part of their Green ReLeaf program. By planting trees the Green ReLeaf program will contribute to the reforestation of key regions of the world and help reduce topsoil erosion, prevent harmful air and water pollutants and replace carbon dioxide with clean oxygen.
Ice-O-Matic is committed to planting 150,000 trees, enough to offset the carbon footprint of their Denver factory plus the equivalent of 15 other similar factories within 5 years. To learn more about how your business or establishment can do their part to help the environment check out the American Forests’ Global ReLeaf program.
