How Are SodaStreams a Sustainable Product?

Those who grew up in the 1970s and the 1980s will be familiar with SodaStream and the sense of nostalgia that the modern version brings along with it. However, for those who have no idea, SodaStream is a popular brand of at-home carbonation systems that allows users to make their own fizzy drinks, sparkling water, cocktails, mocktails and much more.

In this blog, we will take a closer look at our range of CO2 for SodaStream, as well as the environmental impact that using SodaStream has achieved over the last several years.

SodaStream: What Is the Environmental Impact?

SodaStream has pledged to eliminate up to 67 billion single-use plastic bottles by 2050. To do so, they have developed reusable products called carbonating bottles. According to SodaStream, one carbonating bottle will eliminate 1,282 single-use plastic bottles, and every 250ml serving of SodaStream sparkling water helps reduce the carbon footprint by a staggering 80%.

The CO2 cylinders used in their products will further contribute to minimising harmful waste. Your empty cylinders are sterilised, inspected, and filled with fresh, food-grade CO2.

SodaStream also reduces the amount of transportation that products need to be shipped. Its advantage is the fact that you can make the same delicious drinks for less at home. It saves you on shopping trips, and consequently, there are fewer car emissions.

Are There Any Health Benefits?

There are various health benefits to using SodaStream. For instance, the syrups have less sugar and calories than a regular can of pop, so it offers a healthier alternative if you are looking for a way to cut down on the amount of sugar you are consuming.

Most people will find carbonated water tastes better than regular tap water and is easier to drink. Therefore, it can help you stay hydrated throughout the day, allowing you to perform better physically and mentally.

Research indicates that carbonated water can make you feel full and improve digestion. It also has the potential to reduce your cholesterol levels, leading to an increase in ‘good’ HDL cholesterol.

How Convenient Is Using a SodaStream?

Are you struggling to drink more water or want to add some fizz to your fruit juices? Using a SodaStream can be just the thing you are looking for. Making fun drinks at home has never been easier.

On average, your food grade CO2 cylinder can produce 60 litres of carbonated water. But the real frequency of CO2 cylinder replacement depends on the amount of carbonation you use. There are loads of guides online that explain how you can use the refills and test out the various flavours they have in stock.

What Are the Cost Savings?

Buying CO2 bottles from the official site is often expensive, especially if you plan to use your SodaStream in a commercial setting. In addition, many people are concerned about the requirement to buy special adapters to convert CO2 gas bottles to fit SodaStream. If you must source these adapters, it adds to a lot of wasted time, hassle, and money.

That is where Bottle Gases can help.
