SodaStream, a producer of home carbonation products, is starting an \u00a311 million global marketing campaign that focuses on the brand\u00b4s sustainability approach and criticises major soft drinks businesses for being environmentally unfriendly, Marketing Week reports.
\nThe new marketing drive claims that the soft drinks industry creates tonnes of plastic waste and tells consumers that by using SodaStream they can save around 2,000 plastic bottles every year. The TV advertisement shows bottles of fizzy drinks exploding, encouraging customers to \u201cset bubbles free\u201d.
\nSodaStream offers products that can be turned into fizzy drinks by adding them to tap water and carbonating at home, and claims that it produces far less waste. By contrast, soft drinks makers are \u201cnot fit for the 21st century\u201d, UK managing director of SodaStream Fiona Hope told Marketing Week.
\nShe adds that there are great brands that produce fantastic products but are not environmentally conscious enough, as they create far too much plastic waste. Even though soft drinks producers participate in recycling, the recycling process is \u201coverrated\u201d and it would be better for people and for the environment if less plastic was used in the production process, she explained.
\nThe TV advertisement was launched in the UK on 22 November and will be broadcast globally. This will be the first time the brand has engaged in a TV ad campaign in the US, Marketing Week notes. The campaign is rolling out just in time for SodaStream\u00b4s latest product launch – the new carbonating machine called \u201cThe Source\u201d, which the brand says will add extra style to the product range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
