Auum: a great way to serve drinks in the workplace
Greener coffee breaks
The French company Auum was founded in 2019 with the conviction that we need disruptive cleaning technologies to promote reuse and combat single-use items.
Auum began by focusing on the 500 billion disposable cups used every year worldwide. Their first innovative machine, the auum-S, cleans, dries and disinfects glasses in 10 seconds using 2 cl of water and no chemicals. Thanks to patented steam technology, Auum revolutionises traditional cleaning that is very heavy on resources (particularly water and electricity) and gives a poor user experience. Thanks to this machine tailored to corporate environments, employees no longer need to wash up their crockery or worry about the ecological impact of disposable cups.
Auum has come up with an alternative to disposable cups and traditional cleaning methods.
- Ecology: Drawing on lifecycle analysis and with a 20-year lifetime and little needed by way of resources for each cycle, the auum-S is a very ecological solution. On average, it emits 80% less CO2 than conventional solutions.
- Price: The subscription model is cheaper than other solutions and equal to the price of the use of disposable plastic cups - which are now considered to be polluting and are thus banned in the EU. On average, it cuts costs by 50%.
- Convenience: The machine takes only 10 seconds to clean, disinfect and dry a glass.
