Why is it important to buy good quality and sustainable OS&E? The mindset in purchasing often did not include considerations of quality. It was more cost vs quality. However, if an item is cheaper but it has to be replaced frequently, it may end up costing more than a higher quality item.
In addition to life expectancy of the OS&E, the mindset today needs to also take into consideration sustainability of the goods being purchased. How was the item created? What is the life expectancy of the item? How do we dispose of these items when they no longer meet our needs?
Mercura values and philosophy is driven by a sustainable and eco-friendly approach.
All the products are entirely made of aluminum which is the third most common material on earth and it can be recycled infinite number of times. The average lifetime of a cart is around 15 years. When no longer needed, the aluminum can be sold to a recycling facility.
In addition to producing material out of sustainable materials, Mercura uses solar panel energy in the production process. Sustainability permeates all aspects of the company. The personnel follow strict rules regarding wastes: no plastic bottles consumption, composting and minimum printing.
This cart can support 5 bags to sort the garbage at the source and avoid useless loss of time and contamination.
Last but not least, Mercura partnerships and supports associations that aim to recycle hotel soaps for humanitarian purposes (like: https://www.unisoap.org/). For this purpose, we donate an aluminum box that can be hooked to the housekeeping cart and where the housekeeper can collect the soaps.
