CaptiveAire is a U.S.-based manufacturer of commercial kitchen ventilation, HVAC, and air quality equipment serving commercial and industrial clients nationwide. CaptiveAire’s Santa Monica office prioritizes environmentally responsible operations that reduce waste and support a healthier workplace.
CaptiveAire powers its Santa Monica location with 100% renewable energy through the California Clean Power Alliance partnership with Socal Edison, and uses energy-efficient LED lighting throughout. The company operates nearly paperless by digitizing forms and purchasing minimal paper, while choosing unbleached, post-consumer recycled-content products when feasible. A comprehensive zero-waste program features clearly labeled composting and recycling stations maintained by trained staff.
CaptiveAire Santa Monica reduces waste by purchasing whole coffee beans in bulk for their coffee/ espresso machine that dispenses one cup at a time for staff and guests. Employees are encouraged to use refillable bottles and mugs to minimize single-use waste. To improve indoor air quality, CaptiveAire prioritizes green-certified cleaning products, including but not limited to EPA Safer Choice, EcoLogo, and Green Seal options.
