The gift that keeps on giving

The gift that keeps on giving

Date: 2013-11-22
Just under 6,4m tonnes of household waste is generated in South Africa and disposed of in landfills annually. Households generate 42% of this waste: 21% = packaging and paper; 5% = food; 6% = greens and 10% = other). (Source: WMRIG Valuing Recycling in Landfill Management conference, July 2013. Stellenbosch).

This waste generation increases over the summer holidays providing enough reason to consider gifts that give more as we prepare to celebrate, decorate, relax, give gifts and travel this coming holiday season. And Sodastream's latest Source Element machine ticks all the boxes with a very sexy, eco-friendly DIY soda maker that your family, friends and Mother Nature will love you for. 

Even though the Source Element, designed by visionary Yves Behar, is probably the coolest must-have gadget for any modern, design-conscious kitchen, the real beauty of this product, and all other Sodastream machines, lies in the fact that they were designed with Mother Nature in mind. The machines are recyclable, the CO2 cylinder refillable and its reusable BPA-free bottle has a 3-year lifespan, keeping you actively green by reducing the amount of plastic bottles you need to purchase and/or dispose of. Plus, your Sodastream Source Element doesn't need electricity or batteries to keep the fun going so Mother Nature also receives a gift she can enjoy - a summer holiday with less waste. 

The Source Element makes the summer holiday picture-perfect, because nothing says recharge at leisure like sparkling cocktails and nothing cools the throat like a fizzy cola, especially when you can have it exactly when you want it, the way you like it - more bubbles, less bubbles, sweeter, less sweet. You need mixers? No problem. With more than 20 delicious Sodastream flavours on tap, it's at your fingertips. All you need is ordinary tap water and your Sodastream to magically create sparkling or soda water at the press of a button. Sounds like heaven, is heaven!

Make Sodastream's Source Element your first choice of gift this holiday season - knowing that Mother Nature benefits too. Use it in your kitchen, at your home bar, next to the pool, or take it to a picnic or even on holiday.  It's fizz is limitless. So is the planet's thanks!
