SodaStream is constantly committed to improving in all areas - from manufacturing processes to business operations to product portfolio:

SodaStream's commitment to eliminating plastic waste:

The brand takes its commitment to the environment a step further by eliminating plastic waste at every stage of the manufacturing process. Since 2022, up to 25% of the plastic parts in the new generation of SodaStream water sparklers have been made from recycled materials. This extends the brand's commitment to saving the planet to its core products, making the entire portfolio more environmentally friendly.

In addition, by reusing plastic bags in its production lines, the company has saved 11 tons of plastic and reduced plastic waste in its production processes by more than 20% in 2022.

SodaStream's current sustainable activities:

Since 2022, SodaStream water sprayer packaging has been fully recyclable - using recyclable cardboard and recyclable plastic bags - and carbonated bottles are made from clear recycled plastic (rPET), making them 100% recyclable**. The company also succeeded in reducing 82 tons of cardboard and 21.6 tons of paper in its products and packaging for water sparklers in 2022.

Since 2023, SodaStream's operations in Germany, Australia and the Netherlands have been fully powered by renewable energy sources. As of this year, approximately 15% of the plant's annual electricity consumption*** is covered by solar panels, which cover more than 75% of the plant's roof area. In addition, 8.3% of the factory***'s annual water consumption is saved by reusing water from the factory's cooling water system.

Carbon footprint reduction:

SodaStream's Art Starter Kit, Terra Starter Kit, Duo Starter Kit, dishwasher-safe reusable 1-liter bottles and cartridges have been certified as low carbon by the Carbon Trust. This certification demonstrates SodaStream's ongoing commitment to the environment and sustainability and has enabled the brand to identify key areas in its product value chain where it can take action and reduce its overall carbon footprint.
