#LetsCanPlastics

The drinks industry is a major source of both carbon and waste. Plastic bottles are choking our oceans and the drinks industry is the worst plastic offender by far.

And it’s totally unnecessary, because drinks can be sold in cans or in glass bottles, both of which (although not perfect) are much better for the environment.

 So, we are campaigning to phase plastic bottles out by 2030, switching to glass or aluminium instead. As part of the campaign, we are running a petition against single use plastic in the UK.

 

GUNNA’S ECO PLEDGES

  • Double carbon offset: We offset 2g of carbon for every 1g that’s created making GUNNA. Some people call this carbon negative. Call it what you want, we’d just love it if Big Soda would copy us.

  • Infinitely recyclable: GUNNA will only ever be sold in packaging which can be infinitely recycled – that’s aluminium and glass. Plastic can be recycled 2x at best, then it goes into landfill or the sea.

  • Picking up our competitor’s crap: We decided being carbon negative and never in plastic was not enough, so each year we invest our profits into The Clean Oceans Project. They pick up tonnes of our competitors’ plastic waste from the world’s beaches every year.

  • GUNNA ban plastic: That’s all good, but we felt it’s still not enough, so we are also campaigning to ban plastic drinks bottles, switching over to cans and glass instead. That would have a huge impact on the world. Join our fight.
