SodaStream Australia has launched a new sparkling water maker constructed from 50% post-industrial recycled plastic ahead of Earth Day, in a big to highlight the company’s commitment to sustainability.

The Recycled Black Terra is designed to replace over 1,000 single-use plastic bottles over a five-year period, according to SodaStream. The product is available for purchase both online and in-store at Big W, Harvey Norman, and selected independent retailers, with a recommended retail price of $119.00.

SodaStream, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, operates in over 47 countries. The company focuses on providing eco-friendly alternatives to bottled drinks, positioning the Recycled Black Terra as a step towards reducing plastic waste.

In addition to the product launch, SodaStream’s Melbourne headquarters has transitioned to being powered entirely by green energy. This shift follows the installation of solar panels, marking another stride in the company’s sustainability efforts.

Marketing Manager at SodaStream Australia, Holly Walker, said: “We are incredibly proud to be taking these significant steps towards a greener future. By integrating recycled materials into our products and now powering our headquarters with green energy, we’re not only contributing to a circular economy but also demonstrating that sustainability and innovation can go hand-in-hand.”
