In Cup Plus... Green Credentials for
the Xen-550 system

  • All cups, ingredient cartridges and outer cases are fully recyclable
  • Ingredients in sealed cartridges holding c.750 free drinks reducing the volume of outer packaging
  • All outer case packaging uses recycled cardboard with bleach free printing
  • In Cup Plus Xen-550 does not need a travelling operator thereby saving c.96 gallons of petrol per site per year while reducing congestion
  • Enhanced reliability delivered through design simplicity reduces congestion and pollution from travelling engineers
  • Machine does not require any chemicals or detergents to keep it clean and hygienic state
  • 99% of machine parts are sourced in the UK reducing air and sea freight
  • Machine manufactured in the UK removing the need for damaging overseas transportation
  • Mains water is double filtered so removing the need for the transportation and costs of plastic bottled water
  • Multi insulated boiler reduces heat loss, saves energy and reduces power surges usually associated with kettle usage
  • Low power mode used for idle periods to save energy costs. Reduces power consumption by 70% in standby mode
  • Power consumption in standby mode .3KW/1.5Amps. Less than 1/3 of the power consumption of 1 Personal Computer (Average PC 1.2KW according to government figures)
  • Power consumption in normal mode (during start-up) approximately .9KW/4amps. Less than half the power consumed by a kettle (Average Kettle 2.2KW according to government figures)

  • Micro processor chips are fully recyclable and WEE compliant. The WEE directive will deliver a more sustainable approach to managing electrical and electronic waste. By increasing the volume of material recycled, and reducing the amount sent to landfill. In essence it will enforce the recovery and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment at the end of its life.
  • Rebuild capability via in built design functionality
