How Does SodaStream Help the Environment?

Because SodaStream uses water straight from the tap, the system makes traditional store-bought beverage bottles obsolete. That means, less plastic manufactured, less plastic waste and less transport of bottled beverages.

SodaStream is an "Active Green" company. Our solution when used by consumers is actively saving CO2 footprint. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO2 footprint the user actively saves. This differs from "Passive Green" brands, which use green-friendly production processes, but their products are not inherently helping the consumers save on their daily footprint.

Globally, 206 billion liters of bottled water were consumed in 2008 (Zenith International Global Bottled Water Report, 2008). The energy required to make water bottles in the US only, is equivalent to 17 million barrels of oil (Container Recycling Institute, 2002).

According to the US Recycling Institute, more than 80% of bottles in the US do not get recycled and end up in landfills. Also, an estimated 4.7 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions were produced in the process of replacing the 134 billion bottles and cans not recycled in 2005.

Using your own Home Carbonation System means:

• * Less packaging waste from cans and bottles.
• * Less pollution caused by transport of bottled beverages.

One SodaStream carbonator makes 60 liters, which is the same as 165 cans of soda! When empty, the carbonator is re-filled, ready to make more fizzy and tasty soda for your pleasure.
