Introduction

Avalanche Mechtronics Pte Ltd (Avalanche Mechatronics)
is a company that specialises in building kiosk machines.
Among their popular products are height-weight measuring
machines commonly found in schools and hospitals, coin-
operated car washing machines for HDB carparks offering
water jet and vacuum services, and cash-bag deposit
machines used by local banks. Despite being small, with only
ten employees, the company operates efficiently, keeping
utility consumption low, except during production periods
when new machines are being fabricated.

Environmental Review

Upon our initial visit to Avalanche Mechtronics premises, the
ESI teamencountered several challenges in implementing
green ecosolutions due to the nature of the business.
The company operates primarily as a workshop filled with
machinery and tools, with limited lighting, and an air-
conditioning system (Figure 1). The company shares a small
washroom among its ten workers.

During the review of the premises and introduction to
the company’s products and services, the team observed
cartons of paper rolls stocked up in the storeroom (Figure 2).
The business owner explained that these paper rolls are used
in the height-weight measuring machines and the cash-bag
deposit machines.

Environmental Review

The company operates 29 cash-bag deposit machines
deployed to bank outlets, each equipped with a kiosk
thermal printer that generates a receipt at the end of each
deposit transaction.
