Committing to avoid plastic waste

SodaStream reusable bottles offer an alternative to single-use plastic bottles. 
The leading sparkling water brand forecasts the avoidance of nearly 78 billion 
bottles by 2025, an additional 11 billion from its goal announced last year. 

SodaStream will also switch to metal its flavor bottles starting at the end of 
this year, thus avoiding another 200 million plastic bottles. 

SodaStream announced they are developing sparkling water makers from recycled 
or plant-based material for the first time, taking their commitment to the 
planet to their core category and thus making their entire portfolio greener. 

"Our sparkling water makers are sustainable by essence; every SodaStream user 
saves up to thousands of single-use plastic bottles from ending up in waste. We 
are taking our commitment even further by introducing sparkling water makers 
made from sustainable material," commented Eyal Shohat, SodaStream Global CEO. 

Indeed a recent survey* conducted by the company has shown that 84% of 
SodaStream users recognized the positive impact on the planet and reduced their 
single-use bottle consumption. Almost 80% admitted becoming more 
environmentally conscious.

Reducing carbon footprint

SodaStream plans to meet 10% of their global plant's total energy requirements 
with solar energy by 2022 a five-fold increase from 2% in 2020.

Through these investments, SodaStream contributes to PepsiCo's goal of 
transitioning to 100% renewable energy for company-owned operations globally by 
2030. In addition, PepsiCo has pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040, 
one decade earlier than called for in the Paris Agreement.

SodaStream's Fizzi Starter Kit and Duo Starter Kit have been certified as 
reducing carbon by the Carbon Trust. This certification demonstrates 
SoadStream's continued commitment to the environment and sustainability. The 
certification has allowed SodaStream to identify key areas in its products' 
value chain where it can take action and reduce its overall carbon footprint.

Other company actions

Finally, SodaStream announces the closing of its offices on Earth Day and calls 
employees to join clean-up activities around the globe (where possible per 
Covid-19 restrictions).

SodaStream is also partnering with PangeaSeed Foundation, an ocean conservation 
non-profit with a donation towards the Foundation's environmental education and 
awareness efforts.
