The vending machines (coffee, tea, snacks, soft drinks) on our campus will soon be replaced. This will take place over a period of six weeks, starting on 4 December.

What does this mean?
The schedule indicates when the work will start in your faculty/department. The tasks include removing old machines, cleaning the locations, and installing new machines. Noise disturbance will be limited to drilling into countertops and relocating machines.

Availability of refreshments during the transition period
To avoid waste, the current machines will not be restocked as usual. Please use another machine in the building, choose a different refreshment or visit the staffed coffee corners.

Contribution to sustainability goals
With the renewed partnership, we are also taking a step toward achieving our sustainability goals:

• Elimination of disposable cups and the choice of oat milk result in a 71.5% CO2 reduction compared to the current machines.
• For every liter of water used, 1 liter of clean drinking water is donated to the Made Blue foundation.
• The coffee machines are 94.4% (staff machines) and 97.3% (student machines) circular. The materials used in the machines (plastic, metals, etc.) can be reused when the machine is retired.
• The new machines have an A++ energy label, with an expected energy consumption reduction equivalent to that of 10 average households.

Update overgang naar nieuwe vendingmachines per locatie

Binnenkort worden de vendingautomaten (koffie, thee, snoep, frisdrank) op onze campus vervangen. Gedurende zes weken, beginnend op 4 december, vinden hiervoor de werkzaamheden plaats. 

Wat betekent dit?
In de planning staat wanneer de werkzaamheden starten in jouw faculteit/dienst. De werkzaamheden houden in: oude apparaten verwijderen, reinigen van de locatie en installeren van nieuwe apparaten. Geluidsoverlast blijft beperkt tot het boren in werkbladen en het verplaatsen van machines.

Beschikbaarheid van consumpties tijdens overgangsperiode
Om verspilling va n de producten te voorkomen, worden de huidige automaten niet tot de laatste dag gevuld. Het kan dus voorkomen dat sommige consumpties iets eerder op zijn. Je kan dan gebruik maken van andere automaten in het gebouw, een andere consumptie kiezen of naar de bemande coffee corners gaan.

Bijdrage aan duurzaamheidsambitie
Met de vernieuwde samenwerking zetten we ook een stap naar het bereiken van onze duurzaamheidsambitie:

• Geen wegwerpbekers en de keuze voor havermelk levert een CO2-besparing van 71,5% op ten opzichte van de huidige machines
• Per liter gebruikt water wordt 1 liter schoon drinkwater gedoneerd aan stichting Made Blue
• De koffieautomaten zijn voor  94,4% (medewerkers-automaten), 97,3% (studenten-automaten) circulair. De materialen waar de machine van gemaakt is (plastic, metalen, etc.) kunnen worden hergebruikt als de machine is afgeschreven.
• De nieuwe automaten hebben een energielabel A++ . Er is een verwachte besparing van het energieverbruik van 10 gemiddelde huishoudens.
