What We Do

Greenopia provides consumers with high quality information to help them reduce their impact on the environment through their daily purchasing decisions. Greenopia publishes extensive green business directories, product directories, and brand directories, as well as offering a growing community, news articles, blogs, and tips to help everyone eat, shop, and live green.

Our Directories

Greenopia's directories guide consumers to the businesses and products to help lead a more sustainable lifestyle. All listings are independently researched, rated, and ranked using unique sets of life cycle based and category-specific criteria, ensuring that each business and product meets precise qualifications. We never accept payment for listings.

Our Ratings

The Greenopia Leaf Award allows consumers to easily assess the overall greenness of a business or product. Four-Leaf Rated listings meet our most stringent criteria while One-Leaf Rated listings meet our minimum qualifying standards. The Greenopia Scorecard allows consumers to easily see the specific areas of greenness in the product’s or brand’s life cycle.

Our Community

Greenopia's community provides a place for people to engage in sharing their favorite listings, meeting other people, sharing their eco-interests, blogging, discussing green topics, and much more. Our newsletters provide an opportunity to stay up to date with compelling articles, press releases, exclusive opportunities, and the newest, hottest, and greenest listings.

Company Overview:
There are around 6,000 Dunkin Donuts stores across the US that bring in over $4.7 billion in revenue each year.

Green Efforts:
Within the past year or two, Dunkin Donuts has made an effort to be a greener chain. In October, Dunkin Donuts opened up its first green store, which was LEED certified. Dunkin Donuts also uses fair trade coffee in all of its espresso drinks. Both of these initiatives are impressive, especially given the size of Dunkin Donuts as a food chain.

Green Issues:
There is still a lot of room for Dunkin Donuts to improve. First, it is time to redesign its packaging/containers. Other coffee chains have been including recycled inputs and so should Dunkin Donuts. Also, Dunkin Donuts should transition to Fair or Direct trade coffee for all drinks besides just espresso. Finally, where is the sustainability report? Publishing a comprehensive sustainability report is always the first step to being taken seriously in the green marketplace.

Greenopia Verdict:
Dunkin Donuts has a foundation in place to make the transition into a greener chain, but there are still measures to be taken before it can compete with the more progressive coffee chains.
