- SodaStream's ongoing sustainable activities:
Starting in 2022, SodaStream's sparkling water-makers' packages are fully recyclable - using recyclable cardboard and recyclable plastic bags, and its flavor bottles are manufactured from clear recycled plastic (rPET), making them 100% recyclable**. The company also managed to reduce 82 tons of cardboard and 21.6 tons of paper in its sparkling water-maker products and packaging in 2022.
As of 2023, SodaStream's operational facilities in Germany, Australia, and the Netherlands are fully operated using renewable energy sources.
