At Gunna Drinks, we've been following the recent developments in sustainable packaging with great interest. The news of Asda discontinuing its plastic refills trial has sparked important conversations in our industry. And our founder, Melvin Jay's recently published letter in this week's edition of The Grocer summarises it perfectly. While seeing this initiative paused is disheartening, we applaud Asda for its bold leadership in tackling plastic pollution. Taking on such a monumental challenge was never going to be easy, and there are valuable lessons for all of us in the consumer goods sector. Key takeaways: ▶ Consumer behaviour change is challenging. We must make sustainable choices more accessible for shoppers, not add complexity to their routines. ▶ Small, incremental changes can lead to big impacts. Our approach at Gunna focuses on 'nudging' consumers towards more sustainable options, like our aluminium bottles. ▶ Focus on high-impact categories. The soft drinks industry has a significant plastic footprint, and we believe it's our responsibility to lead the charge in finding alternatives. ▶ Recycling alone isn't the answer. We need to rethink our approach to packaging from the ground up. At Gunna, we're committed to innovating and collaborating with retailers and consumers to find practical, sustainable solutions. By working together and learning from each initiative - successful or not - we can make meaningful progress in reducing plastic waste. What are your thoughts on sustainable packaging challenges in the retail sector? We'd love to hear your perspectives!

Exciting news! Our founder, Melvin Jay, will be speaking at @londonpackagingweek this year on Thursday, September 12th. He will address one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time: plastic pollution in the soft drinks and water industry. The scale of this challenge is staggering. Our industry produces over 600 billion new plastic bottles annually, yet only 16% of plastic is recycled globally. At GUNNA, we believe it's time for a change, and we're ready to lead the way. We see a future where the beverage industry takes responsibility for its environmental impact. As we successfully tackled sugar reduction, we can apply similar strategies to reduce plastic use. There are numerous paths forward, from setting ambitious reduction targets to exploring innovative packaging alternatives. Melvin will share our vision for a cleaner, greener future in soft drinks and water. He'll explore how we as an industry can transition from being one of the planet's most prominent plastic polluters to becoming a leader in sustainable packaging solutions. Join us in this crucial conversation about sustainability and innovation in the beverage industry. Together, we can create meaningful change and set new standards for environmental responsibility.

The adult soft drinks market is evolving, and we're excited to be part of this transformation! 🥤✨ Alongside the likes of Dalston's Soda Co., Fentimans Ltd, Fever-Tree, Nestlé, #Perrier and Nuisance Drinks. A recent piece by FoodBev Media highlights the rise of premium beverages that cater to health-conscious consumers. The trends? Think sophisticated flavours rivalling cocktails, unique botanical ingredients, functional benefits like immune support, and a strong focus on sustainability. At Gunna Drinks, we're proud to see our approach aligning perfectly with these trends. As our founder Melvin Jay noted in the article, "Our planet-positive sodas are designed to be tastier, healthier and more sustainable, aligning perfectly with current consumer preferences." We're committed to offering immune-boosting lemonades with 100% RDI of vitamin C and zinc, while keeping sugar content low. And let's not forget our eco-friendly aluminium bottles - we're leading the charge in sustainable packaging!" Curious to learn more?
