How Does Selzter Makers and Home Soda Makers Help the Environment?
By using a Seltzer Maker or Home Soda Maker you are actively minimizing your CO2 footprint. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO2 footprint the user actively saves. This differs from "Passive Green" brands, which use green-friendly production processes, but their products are not inherently helping you save on your daily footprint.
Because Seltzer Makers and Home Soda Makers uses water straight from the tap, the system makes traditional store-bought beverage bottles obsolete. That means, less plastic manufactured, less plastic waste and less transport of bottled beverages. Globally, 206 billion liters of bottled water were consumed in 2008 (Zenith International Global Bottled Water Report, 2008), and the energy required to make water bottles just in the US is equivalent to 17 million barrels of oil (Container Recycling Institute, 2002).
A family of four could slash their home soft-drink-related packaging usage by over 90 percent simply by using a Seltzer Maker and Home Soda Maker, and re-usable plastic carbonating bottles can be reused for for a few years. A typical American will toss away over 1500 aluminum cans (and/or hundreds of plastic 2-liter bottles) over three years, while a Seltzer Maker or Home Soda Maker owner will use just a few reusable carbonating bottles.
Operating without batteries or electricity, Seltzer Makers and Home Soda Makers are highly energy-efficient small appliances. Appliances that work without electricity improve the environment by cutting down on the emissions generated by electrical plants, giving us cleaner air and ground water.
By operating completely on power supplied by the compressed air in the carbonator–an easily renewable fuel source–Seltzer Makers and Home Soda Makers do not contribute to environmental pollution made by batteries. Empty carbonators are cleaned, inspected and refilled with CO2 drawn naturally from the air. Carbonators are reusable as long as they remain in good condition.
