Imperial Coffee and services Inc., the Toronto and Ontario market leader in office coffee service for more than 35 years, announced today that it is expanding a recycling program following successful completion of a pilot program.

"When customers speak, we listen,” said Imperial Coffee and Services Inc. President Mark Steiner. “It’s been that way for more than 35 years. Our customers have been asking for a recycling program for single serve coffee packages, and we are thrilled to offer it to them. We’ll be working with our customers and recycling partners to make offices more sustainable and reduce waste. Imperial Coffee has long been the market leader in environmental initiatives on everything from energy efficiency  to carbon credits, so this is the logical next step."

Imperial Coffee’s office coffee service  customers will now have the option of taking action to prevent single-serve Mars Drink packs from ending up in landfills.  They can place the used fresh packs in office collection boxes, then ship them via Fedex  to Imperial Coffee's partner, TerraCycle. TerraCycle then recycles the fresh packs into new products. Additional information is available the Recycle Your Fresh Packs Website.

Imperial Coffee and Services Inc.  offers Fair Trade and sustainable coffee from such leading suppliers as Starbucks, Timothy's and Flavia. Imperial Coffee and Services also offers its own private label Fair Trade and sustainable coffee.
