📖 Story
Did you know the average soft drink is >95% water, plus artificial ingredients and sugar? In fact, sugar from soft drinks is the #2 source of added sugar in adult diets in the UK. On top of that, Coca-Cola, Pepsico, and Nestle Waters are the top 3 plastic polluters in the world.
Sipgood is the better beverage company of the future, changing the way the world hydrates.
After 2 years of R&D working with leading product developers, engineers & flavour scientists (yes that’s a real job), they've created a new era beverage experience – ‘Natural Infusion Drops’ (mini dissolvable ‘beverage bombs’) that transform any glass or reusable bottle of water into a delicious soft drink, with no sugar, artificial ingredients, or calories & 98% less packaging & carbon emissions than traditional packaged beverages. More taste, less waste!
👀 Reasons to watch
- There are 1 million plastic bottles bought globally every single minute and less than 10% of them are recycled. Sipgood plans to take 5 million bottles out of circulation in the next 3 years.
- On top of those bottles, sugar from soft drinks is the #2 source of added sugar in adult diets in the UK and #1 for children. And that's after years of regulation to reduce sugar content.... in contrast, Sipgood Natural Infusion Drops are made of all-natural fruit flavours and plant extracts with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
- Women and girls around the world spend 200 million hours every single day collecting water, keeping them out of school and paid employment and creating a huge personal safety risk. They aim to increase water access and equality by donating water for every drop sold.
- Sipgood genuinely tastes good. They are rated 4.8/5 with a range of 5 delicious all-natural flavours. The proof is in the sip so what are you waiting for?
