Home to Minarc Group, this green-certified office features a sun room that houses an herb garden for employees to relax in or harvest, minimal use of disposable items, and green cleaning. Highlights include:
- Energy efficiency. Ample skylights provide natural sunlight. LED lights are only turned on after sunset.
- Water efficiency. The ReFlow sink - ReFlow, a product designed by Minarc, is a simplistic design that allows for reusing water by repurposing the greywater from washing your hands to flush the toilet.
- Zero waste practices:
- Reducing. Cloth towels and reusable cloths for cleaning instead of disposable paper towels and cleaning wipes. Incoming packaging materials are used in outgoing shipments. In-house coffee machine uses reusable coffee pods instead of disposable ones.
- Reusing. Materials reuse. Only reusable kitchenware is stocked for employee use. Items that are no longer needed are donated to The People Concern, a local charity that offers a range of services tailored to the unique needs of people experiencing homelessness.
- Recycling. In addition to blue bin recycling, food and landscape waste is separated and collected by City of Santa Monica R3 for composting.
