Coffee and business the way it should be...
This page is dedicated to documenting Green Mountain.
Actual Business Practices
Please
post statistics and data revealing the business activity of Green Mountain. This would include but is not limited to: annual
investments, job structuring, budget suggestions, properties and assets.- Unlike Starbucks' cups, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters have announced the arrival of the Ecotainer, a compostable cup for hot liquid. in 2005, “Americans used and discarded
14.4 billion disposable paper cups for hot beverages. If put
end-to-end, those cups would circle the earth 55 times. Based on
anticipated growth of specialty coffees, that number will grow to 23
billion by 2010—enough to circle the globe 88 times.” Plus they
calculated that the petrochemicals consumed in the making of that many
cups would be equal to keeping 8,300 homes heated for one year. The
Ecotainer addresses this by having corn based liner, instead using a
quarter of a million pounds of petro-plastic. In short, it can be
composted and returned to the earth to make more soil. GMCR and IP go
on to suggest that by opting for a corn-based they’ll conserve the
consumption of nearly 250,000 pounds (113,400 kg) of non-renewable
petrochemicals every year. And 70% of the energy used for the
paperboard manufacture is from renewables. (FULL STORY)
