What exactly is Sugarplastic?

The name says it all! By Sugarplastic, we mean disposable plastic bottles typically filled with sugary drinks that leave us addicted and craving more.

Is there palm oil in waterdrop® products?

While some companies earn their sugar-free badge by using palm oil as an alternative, we believe in the natural taste of fruit and plant extracts, enhanced only with a touch of sweetener.

What kind of plastic do you use?

Our blisters are made of polypropylene (PP). Having weighed our options, we decided that PP is the most environmentally conscious option as it is the easiest to recycle, doesn't release toxins, has a relatively low carbon footprint and is safe for human health.

Why are you using plastic for blisters?

We've tried our best to be plastic-free but this is unfortunately not possible at the moment as the taste and integrity of our products comes first. Having said that, we are constantly working on experimenting with new solutions and hope to be plastic free soon.

Why do your cubes have to be individually packed?

As our Microdrinks are free from preservatives, each waterdrop® is carefully sealed with a wafer-thin layer to protect the natural fruit and plant extracts within. This helps us guarantee the integrity and freshness of our product.

SUSTAINABILITY

SUSTAINABILITY

No sugar,
less plastic.

The temptation is real: in a world cursed by Sugarplastic, reaching out for your favourite sugary drink is easier than ever. With everyone telling themselves it's just one bottle, we have somehow accumulated 171 trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean.

How can we rid ourselves of the bottles that plague our lives with sugar and an ever-growing amount of plastic? Well, we're here with the solution.

The average person ingests a credit card worth of microplastic per week.

By 2050, the amount of plastic in the ocean will outweigh the number of fish.

1.2 million plastic bottles are used every minute. Only 9% end up recycled.

It's time to rethink your drink.
