Soda makers, CO2 cartridges & the Circular Economy
As carbonators and exchangeable CO2 cartridges have become widely available, carbonated water has in recent years seen a remarkable surge in consumption. In this article we will look into the fizzy phenomena and the sustainability of soda makers and CO2 cartridges.
A conscious choice
Homemade sparkling water has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years, thanks to its convenience, health benefits, and eco-friendly nature. However, especially one major driving force for the surge in carbonated water consumption is the rise of the conscious consumer. In a world where carbon footprints matter, people are turning to products that advocate for reducing CO2 emissions. Countertop drink carbonators that rely on CO2 cartridges, stand out as prime examples of conscious consumption. Before we delve into the world of sustainable carbonation, let's first explore the world of CO2 and its environmental impact.
CO2 and its effects
CO2 can be observed in natural and industrial processes. It's released through various channels, including fossil fuel combustion, industrial processes, and even our own breathing! The carbonation of CO2 itself has a rich history, dating back centuries to the natural fermentation process observed in ales and beers. However, since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have significantly increased CO2 emissions. The bottled water industry for instance, now a USD 183 billion market, has left behind a trail of plastic waste and increased carbon footprints. The production and consumption of bottled sparkling water contribute significantly to an increased carbon footprint. This heightened environmental impact stems from various processes, including mass production, packaging, transportation, and disposal. However, years of environmental damage have recently led to global repercussions, making sustainable consumption a hot topic worldwide.
The Circular Economy
So, what exactly is the circular economy? Picture an economic infrastructure designed not just for production, but also to reduce waste and carbon footprints. The continual use of resources fosters a mindset of reduce, reuse, and recycle. This is where the exchangeable CO2 cartridges come into the picture.
CO2 canisters and circularity
So how does the circular economy relate to sparkling water? Well, unlocking the circular economy potential lies within carbonators and refillable CO2 canisters. Capturing CO2 from various industrial processes, purifying it to food-grade quality, and filling it onto CO2 canisters for use in countertop carbonators supports the circular economy. A soda maker encourages a ‘reduce and reuse’ mindset by promoting a reusable bottle and the exchange of CO2 canisters. Capturing and converting CO2 into food-grade quality allows us to use it for making homemade sparkling water, effectively drinking away our CO2 emissions. Isn’t that smart?
The convenience and sustainability of carbonators
Carbonators like bubliq, offers a simpler way to enjoy sparkling water and bubbly lemonade at home. By using a carbonator, you can easily turn tap water into sparkling water without generating unnecessary waste. Designed for reuse with refillable CO2 canisters and a reusable bottle, these soda makers reduce reliance on single-use bottles, cutting down on the supply chain and plastic waste. Customizable fizz levels ensure you get the perfect effervescence without wasting any beverage. Opting for refillable CO2 canisters not only reduces waste but also aligns with the principles of the circular economy. Using tap water supports local sources and reduces reliance on environmentally harmful bottled water. At-home carbonation consumes less energy than industrial processes, making it a positive choice for both individuals and the environment.
Overall soda makers and CO2 cartridges are a sound and sustainable investment that can help accelerate the circular economy and benefit our health.
Not all CO2 canisters are the same. They differ in compatibility with various soda makers. Always check compatibility before purchasing.
A CO2 cartridge for a SodaStream or soda maker typically provides up to 60 litres of sparkling water. However, be aware that the brand of soda maker, temperature of the water and how much fizz you add, can have an impact on how long it lasts.
Yes, it's generally safe to store a CO2 cartridge in your home if used and stored correctly. Ensure proper storage, avoid direct sunlight, and always follow the guidelines as provided by the manufacturer.
