Bottle-Free Beverage Programs

Smart Soda's New Program Reduces Waste in the Workplace

— May 14, 2020 — Eco
Smart Soda introduced a new Bottle-less Beverage Program for offices that makes it easy to enjoy craft vitamin-infused flavored sparkling alkaline water and sodas. The beverages are available in a range of options, including some that are free of sugar, made with reduced cane sugar, vegan-friendly, rich in antioxidants, gluten-free or even infused with CBD.

The program includes the JuLi Touch beverage platform, which relies on a touchscreen so that office employees can choose from dozens of different kinds of sodas, plus unlimited sparkling mineral and alkaline waters. Unlike vending machines that dispense products wrapped in plastic, this addition to the workplace encourages people to use their own vessels to cut down on waste. The compact machines are especially appealing to workplaces that want to offer healthy soda alternatives.
