Orenda & Beans is trying to utilize these drawbacks as an opportunity to make a revolution in the food industry. The cafe has developed a naturally sustainable infrastructure with trees both indoor and outdoor. The double layered imported glass has been used to reduce the temperature of the café. The solar power generation from PV cells on the rooftop is reducing electricity consumption from the grid line.

To keep the carbon footprint as low as possible, the café uses recycled paper cups and bags, every electrical equipments are checked and maintained regularly so that not any extra electricity consumption occurs.
