If you like a tipple, look for Arrowtown Drinks (vodka sodas in easy-to-recycle cans). These are kind of like ‘hard seltzers’ with around 5% alcohol, so the same as beer but far lower in calories. Healthier than a gin and tonic, but less puritanical than drinking a glass of water! They are also sold in zero waste cans.
For every can sold, the company remove 2 plastic bottles from the oceans, in partnership with an organisation abroad. They employ people in developing countries to remove ocean plastic from the ocean, which is then sold for recycling.
The company hopes to fund the collection of at least 3,600 kilos of ocean-bound plastic in one year, to work towards Ocean Co’s global ambition of collecting 7 billion ocean-bound plastic bottles by the end of 2025.
This brand was inspired by two young brothers, who with the wisdom of a couple of university students (not much!), decided it would be fun to take on the world’s biggest brands of sugary seltzer drinks, by offering something better, and which helped wildlife too. Choose from four flavours:
- Black Cherry & Apple
- Peach & Raspberry
- Lime & Elderflower
- Mango & Pineapple
