What's our belief
'If you can't beat them join them'
That’s what people say in the believe they can’t win an uphill battle
But we will never compromise our journey to revolutionize the way beverages are produced, delivered, served, consumed and disposed of.
Just consider;
Why are we transporting billions of litres of water in canned and bottled beverages if we can just add it at the point of consumption?
That’s why we exist; to reduce packaging, weight and volume by 80% and carbon footprint by 50% for every drink consumed
We won’t stop until we have converted a significant portion of the trillions of canned and bottled beverages consumed each year, to sustainable capsule based drinks
Drink & Enjoy
