SodaStream Makes Christmas Greener

Make your Christmas more earth-friendly this year with the new generation of SodaStream, home soft drink maker, a cheaper and more environmentally friendly option than store-bought drinks.

The more you use the more you save with SodaStream, plus with less bottles to carry home from the supermarket or dispose of, Sodastream is lowering your household's carbon footprint. With the SodaStream system, PET bottles can be reused up to 1000 times and there is no need for batteries or electricity.

"Householders love being actively green," says Mr Matt Gabelich, General Manager of SodaStream Australia. "Over the next 12 months, 20 million litres of SodaStream soft drinks will be made and consumed in Australian homes. This equates to 20 million, litre sized bottles that will be saved from going into landfill or clogging up our waterways," continues Mr Gabelich.

Over a period of three years, a family of four could slash their home soft drink related packaging by approximately 90%. While on a broader scale, because SodaStream uses water straight from the tap, store-bought bottles become obsolete - this means, less plastic manufactured, less plastic waste and less transport of bottled beverages.

The SodaStream system is kinder on the hip pocket too. A bottle of softdrink can be made at home for a fraction of the cost of retail bottled drinks. A SodaStream machine ranges in price from $69 to $149, paying for itself in three to six months, depending upon how often it is used.

The original SodaStream home carbonation system was originally invented by Guy Gilby of the Gilby Gin dynasty in 1903, to make tonic water, and it has come a long way since then. The new range of slim-line, classic and fashionable machines feature elegant, sleek designs and there's a style to suit every home and budget.

Making your own instant soft drink takes three seconds. It's as easy as filling a bottle with water, connecting to a SodaStream machine, giving two - three spurts of CO2 and then adding regular, diet, fruit or cocktail flavour.

More reasons to choose SodaStream over ready made bottled drinks:

· Affords the user an endless supply of sparkling water, freshly made from tap water in just a few seconds.
· No more need to buy, carry or store large quantities of heavy and bulky bottles.
· A wide variety of flavors are produced, so that each family member can have whichever delicious, healthy sparkling drink they fancy.
· The ability to customize sparkling water, as strong or as weak as one likes, makes the machine an ideal solution for the family's entire sparkling beverage needs.

Soda-Club is the world leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of home carbonation systems. Soda-Club markets its drink makers, CO2 cylinders, carbonation bottles and flavors in over 30 countries under the brands Soda-Club and SodaStream.
