Soluciones low-tech para una oficina todavía más ecológica! 🌿

Como parte de nuestro compromiso con el medio ambiente, siempre estamos a la búsqueda de alternativas para reducir nuestra huella ecológica en la oficina 🌎.

Este mes hemos dado un nuevo paso adelante al instalar dos Ecofiltros, reemplazando nuestro antiguo sistema de consumo de agua.

Aquí te contamos por qué estamos tan emocionados:

💧 Agua Limpia y Saludable: Los Ecofiltros son una solución sostenible y efectiva que nos permite disfrutar de agua potable de alta calidad sin recurrir a costosos sistemas de transporte.

♻️ Reducción de Plásticos: Aunque ya habíamos dicho adiós a las botellas de plástico, con esta medida reafirmamos nuestra contribución a la reducción de residuos plásticos. El Ecofiltro es un filtro 100% natural; tiene una duración de 2 años, y al finalizar la vida útil de la unidad filtrante, se puede reutilizar como maceta de planta o tirar, ya que es 100% biodegradable.

🚛 Menos Huella de Carbono: Al eliminar la necesidad de transportar de agua embotellada, disminuimos aun más nuestra huella de carbono.

🌱 Tecnología Amigable con el Medio Ambiente: Los Ecofiltros son una tecnología sencilla pero poderosa, que combina materiales naturales como el barro, la plata coloidal y el carbón activado para purificar el agua.

🔧 Mantenimiento Sencillo y Económico: A diferencia de otros sistemas de purificación, los Ecofiltros requieren un mantenimiento mínimo, lo que nos permite ser más eficientes y responsables con nuestros recursos.

👥 Bienestar: Esta iniciativa no solo mejora nuestra huella ambiental, sino que también promueve la salud y el bienestar de todos en la oficina.

😍 Finalmente hemos de admitir que también lo encontramos mucho más bonito e integrado con el resto de la oficina que nuestro sistema anterior.

No lo creen? 😎
