Eco design
“Efficiency” is one of our key values.
Every component has been studied very carefully to keep the most sustainable ones. Our goal is to manufacture all the pieces of our device as close as possible, in France or in Europe.
We can offer a second life to all our auum-S devices thanks to well-thought recycling or reconditioning processes.
Our product is consistent from A to Z. We chose the best materials and reduced the number of plastic pieces in the machine.
A rental model, a sustainable model
Our goal is to offer the best services to companies with our ergonomic and intuitive device and our unique glass.
We developed a sustainable model : a renting package with included maintenance services. We are yearning to give our customers the best experience and a permanent comfort of use. That is why the machine is available for rent.

Cardboard cup
58 x more
76 x more
Carboard cup is often considered "environmentally friendly". However, it has a very contrasted environmental impact! To be fully waterproof, cardboard cups have a layer of polyethylene plastic (PE). This plastic layer is impossible to separate from the carton layer and prevents its recycling. It usually ends up being incinerated.
Biodegradable cup
59 x more
325 x more
Made with bio-based materials, such as wood cellulose or corn starch, the so-called "Biodegradable" cups are a very good example of greenwashing. Their production requires 4 times more water than cardboard cups.
Above all, these cups require industrial composting. It does not degrade in a domestic composting or if it is abandoned in nature. The collection and industrial composting sector does not exist to treat these wastes. Learn more about it on ADEME.
Mug
The mug is one of the most chosen solutions in companies to stop single use and have a better environmental image. This solution, although stemming from a goodwill, is far from being perfect. It does not answer climate and usage issues, especially because of the lack of adapted cleaning solution.
Like any reusable solution, its impact is mainly determined by its use and its lifespan. Its environmental impact is different depending on the cleaning solutions used.
Dishwasher
2,6 x more
12 x more
The dishwasher is more adapted to small structures. It is a great solution when several types of containers need to be cleaned. However, the process is time-consuming and requires chemicals, water supply and often a restrictive in-house management.
Robinet
2,6 x more
100 x more
Washing with tap water causes a drastic increase in water and soap consumption. The cleaning is often badly done, time-consuming and painful for the employee. It is also a real source of tensions between co-workers.
Reduce waste at work
auum-S reduces water and energy consumption in companies and participates to drastically reduce waste.
One auum-S for 150 employees corresponds to:
-
130 000 liters of water saved (34 500 gallons of water saved)
-
99 450 disposable cups avoided
A technology “Made In France”
We are very proud to be certified by the French label
“Origine France Garantie” (Guaranteed French Origin)
auum-S is the result of a deep French knowledge and know-how. Our device is entirely conceived and assembled in France. The supply chain is very local as well, more than 70% of all the components are from France.
