Sustainability

Today corporate responsibility = sustainability. Drink delicious and healthy sparkling water while minimizing your ecological footprint.

Help the earth by minimizing the use of plastic water bottles. We provide sustainable and reusable glass bottles, customized with the client’s logo and also offer reusable eco-friendly containers.

Additionally, our flavors are delivered in recyclable cardboard boxes.

 

Smart Soda also adheres to the WELL Standard.

 

The WELL Building Standard™ version 2 (WELL v2™) is a vehicle for buildings and organizations to deliver more thoughtful and intentional spaces that enhance human health and well-being. WELL v2 includes a set of strategies—backed by the latest scientific research—that aim to advance human health through design interventions and operational protocols and policies and foster a culture of health and wellness. Built upon the pioneering foundation of the first version of the WELL Building Standard (WELL v1), WELL v2 draws expertise from a diverse community of WELL users, practitioners, public health professionals and building scientists around the world.

WELL Standard

SmartSoda has WELL Faculty and WELL Pioneer Jennifer Berthelot-Jelovic of A SustainAble Production on our Advisory Board to ensure all WELL attributes and claims are valid. www.sustainpro.org

Benefits of alkaline water

Water is the #1 beverage order as consumers increasingly seek to avoid acidic pH  levels & artificial ingredients. For most  refreshment companies, water equals a lost sale. For us, water drinkers are good news.

 

Consumers see value in alkaline water and will pay for it.

 

Alkaline mineral water instantly improves the full beverage offering of our partnered serving locations and outlets.
