Tiny Drops, Big Impact: The Truth Behind Our CO2 Claim
Here at Sipgood HQ, we spend a lot of time thinking about packaging. With Coca-Cola, Pepsico, and Nestle Waters ranking as the top 3 plastic polluters in the world, we're on a mission to transform the beverage industry for the better. That's why, before we even introduced Sipgood to the world in 2024, we partnered with Carbon Bright to measure our carbon footprint.
By the Numbers: What's Really Happening
When we say our drops have 95% less carbon than canned beverages, we wouldn't blame you for raising an eyebrow. So we did what any curious brand would do—we got the receipts.
For those who like evidence with their hydration, here's what the independent data show:
- A plastic bottle produces 390g CO2e per litre
- An aluminium can produces a whopping 570g CO2e per litre
The science is clear. Our little drops really do create ripples of change.
The Plastic Plot Twist
While we're talking numbers, let's talk plastic. A standard 500ml bottle weighs about 20g. Our wrapper? Just 0.35g.
That's 98% less packaging by weight.
Our packaging produces 29x fewer emissions than aluminum cans and 41x fewer than plastic bottles. Mind-blowing, right?
What Those Numbers Actually Mean
Environmental stats can feel abstract. We ran the numbers so you don’t have to. Using two Sipgood drops instead of two bottled drinks saves enough carbon to:
- Power your TV for 3 hours
- Run your fridge for a full day
- Keep a lightbulb on for 1.5 days
The Bigger Picture
The average person in the UK consumes ~117 litres of soft drinks annually. Imagine if even a fraction of those drinks came from a reusable bottle enhanced with Sipgood instead of single-use containers.
We're not perfect (yet), but we're constantly innovating to make Sipgood even more eco-friendly. By choosing Sipgood, you're not just transforming your water – you're helping transform the beverage industry for the better.
So next time you drop some flavour into your water, remember: good things really do come in small packages!
