Concentrate on Going Green

With more and more people focused on the environment and sustainability, remember that dispensed beverage concentrates are more environmentally friendly than many other packaging and serving options.

Foodservice operators can feel good about serving beverages that are reconstituted with water at the point of use, either in a dispenser or hand-mixed, versus serving ready to use (single strength) beverages in individual containers.

Concentrated beverages packaged either in plastic or paperboard containers can help reduce waste and are more environmentally friendly than many other beverage options - particularly those packaged in single serve and multi-serve containers.

As an example, the Vitality Express Pak® plastic bottle, used in the Vitality Express® beverage dispenser, contains 3 liters (101 ounces) of concentrate that when mixed with water at a ratio of 5 parts water to 1 part concentrate, yields over 600 ounces of a ready to serve beverage.
