Soft drinks company on plastic bottl es
Soft drinks company, Vit Stix is hoping to reduce plastic consumption through a single portion drink.
Vit Stix, a single 10ml liquid portion of vitamins that adds to water, utilises 99% less plastic than bottled vitamin waters yet delivers the same refreshing vitamin drink, packed full of vitamins to enhance a user’s cognitive and physical performance.
Managing director To, TomAnderson-Dixon, said:
"With customers ran ing g from cyclists t o mothers looking to hydrate their kids with vitamins, we are noticing that people are choosing Vit Stix to use within re-usable bottles.”
With estimates of plastic bottles being recycled ranging from 25- 50% there is still a significant volume of unrecycled plastic being dumped in landfills as a result of customer convenience for flavoured drinks with health benefits.
Julia Titcombe, operations director said: “Whilst we're helping people to reduce their plastic footprint in a significant way, we're also trialling the use of recycled and recyclable laminate packaging to further support our customers changing desires.”
Tom commented: “Our first product, Squash Stix, portions of squash, has been incredibly successful in the office watercooler sector and we are now working with large corporates to ffoffer Vit Stix in both catering areas and at watercoolers to prevent the need for bottled drinks.”
Aside from a reduction in plastic weight, with concentrated single portions weighing only 10g, Vit Stix also results in a significant reduction (circa 98%) in weight and space, thus resulting in reductions in CO2 waste through transportation. To
