World Refill Day

eonadmin — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 11:39:35 +0000

Happy World Refill Day!

The annual World Refill Day is a day dedicated to reducing single-use plastic waste by encouraging the use of refillable containers and promoting a culture of reuse.

By participating in World Refill Day, we can make a significant impact on our environment and help combat plastic pollution. Here are a few ways to get involved:

Refill your water bottle

Carry a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go. Refill it at water fountains, refill stations (especially from a Smart Soda drinks station!), or cafes that support the Refill movement. Let’s hydrate ourselves without adding to the billions of plastic bottles that end up in landfills and oceans each year.

Bring your own bags

Whenever you go shopping, bring reusable bags. These sturdy alternatives help reduce the staggering amount of single-use plastic bags that harm wildlife and clog our ecosystems.

Choose a refillable cup

Are you a coffee or tea lover? Opt for a refillable cup at your favourite cafe or bring your own travel mug. Many establishments now offer incentives for customers who choose reusable options.

Say no to single-use straws

Skip the plastic straw and sip sustainably. If you prefer using a straw, carry a reusable one made from stainless steel, bamboo, or silicone. Together, we can reduce the billions of plastic straws that pollute our oceans and harm marine life.

Shop at refill stores

Look for stores that offer bulk refill options for cleaning products, toiletries, and even pantry staples. By refilling containers instead of buying new ones, we can significantly cut down on packaging waste.

Spread the word

Share the importance of World Refill Day with your friends, family, and social networks. Encourage others to join the movement and make a positive impact on our planet.

Make Everyday a Refill Day

Let’s make every day a Refill Day by embracing the power of reusable containers and saying no to single-use plastics. Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable world for future generations. 🌎💚

Smart Way to Hydrate

eonadmin — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 11:08:44 +0000

Why is Alkaline Water a Smart Way to Hydrate?

In a previous blog we wrote about how much water we need to drink to remain hydrated throughout the day to maintain our overall health and wellness. While tap water and bottled water are readily available, some people turn to alkaline water for its potential health benefits. In this blog post, we will explore why alkaline water is a smart way to hydrate.

What is Alkaline Water?

Alkaline water is water that has a higher pH level than regular tap water, typically between 7.5 and 9.5. This higher pH level is achieved through a process called electrolysis, which separates the water molecules into alkaline and acidic components.

benefits of Alkaline Water

1. Improved Hydration

Alkaline water may be more effective at hydrating the body than regular water. The smaller molecule size of alkaline water may allow for quicker absorption and better hydration at the cellular level. Additionally, the higher pH level of alkaline water may help to counteract the acidic environment of the body, leading to better overall health.

2. Potential Anti-oxidant Properties

Alkaline water has been shown to have potential antioxidant properties due to the presence of alkaline minerals like magnesium and calcium. Antioxidants help to protect the body against damage from free radicals, which can contribute to chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.

3. Improved Digestion

The alkaline minerals in alkaline water may also help to improve digestion by neutralising stomach acid and reducing acid reflux symptoms. Additionally, the improved hydration and alkaline environment may help to promote healthy digestion and bowel movements.

4. Potential Anti-inflammatory Properties

Alkaline water may also have potential anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce inflammation in the body and alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions like arthritis and asthma.

5. Improved Bone Health

Alkaline water may also help to improve bone health by providing the body with alkaline minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are important for bone density and strength.

The Smart Way to Hydrate

Alkaline water has been shown to have potential health benefits and it may be the smart way to hydrate and improve overall health and wellness. If you are interested in providing an alkaline water-based drinks dispenser in your office, gym, restaurant or workplace, then be sure to speak to us – healthier drinks dispensers, with alkaline water are only available from Smart Soda!

Benefits of Post Mix Drink Dispensers

eonadmin — Sun, 14 May 2023 10:05:39 +0000

There is a lot more to Post Mix Drink Dispensers than just fresh, great tasting soft drinks! Here we provide a whole myriad of benefits to you and your staff, by offering a Post Mix Dispenser in your office or workplace.

Post mix drink dispensers are machines that mix carbonated water and syrup to create a variety of plain or flavoured soft drinks, such as cola, lemonade or orange soda. Here are some of the benefits of using a post mix drinks dispenser:

Consistent Quality

A post mix dispenser ensures that every drink is consistent in taste and quality, as the machine mixes the syrup and carbonated water in the correct ratios each time.

Customisable Options

With post mix drink dispensers, you can offer a wide range of soft drinks and flavours that are not available in pre-packaged bottles or cans.

Cost-effective

A post mix dispenser can be more cost-effective than buying pre-packaged soft drinks, especially if you have a high volume of staff and/or customers. The cost per serving can be significantly lower than buying bottled or canned drinks.

Convenience

Post mix drink dispensers are easy to operate and require minimal training. The machine can also be easily cleaned and maintained.

Environmentally Friendly Post Mix Dispensers

Consumer decisions are increasingly influenced by environmental views and ethical standpoints. By using post mix machines, businesses can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and offset emissions. Post mix drink dispensers offer a range of environmental benefits, compared to pre-packaged drinks. Here, we provide a few reasons why:

1. Reduced Packaging Waste

With post mix drinks, there is no need for single-use cans or bottles, which reduces the amount of packaging waste generated. This can help to decrease the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or the ocean.

2. Energy Efficiency

Post mix drinks machines are designed to be energy-efficient, with low energy consumption. This can help to reduce the carbon footprint of your business.

3. Efficient Use of Resources

Post mix drinks machines use concentrated syrup that is mixed with carbonated water on demand, reducing the amount of water used compared to pre-packaged drinks.

4. Recycling

Post mix drinks dispensers are designed to be easily disassembled, and many parts can be recycled. The syrup containers can also be recycled.

5. Transportation

Post mix products are concentrated, reducing transportation related CO2 by up to seven times, providing further environmental benefits.

Importance of Maintenance

It is crucial to ensure that the machine is used sustainably and all components are properly disposed of or recycled to minimise waste. Maintenance is also essential to prevent the wastage of water, energy, and syrup, which can have negative environmental impacts.

Post mix drink dispensers can provide a consistent, customisable, cost-effective, convenient and environmentally-friendly solution for offering soft drinks in a commercial setting.

Why Smart Soda?

We provide a whole new experience for healthier post mix dispensers for the workplace. Our drinks platforms blend the carefully crafted, vitamin infused concentrates with alkaline water at the point of dispense, fresh for every customer. This way we remove the distribution, storage and waste disposal of lorry loads of plastic bottles and cans.

How Much Water Do You Need?

eonadmin — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 09:16:58 +0000

We all know that water is essential for life, and staying hydrated is important for maintaining overall health and wellness, however, with so much conflicting information available, it can be difficult to determine how much water do you need every day. In this blog post, we will explore the recommended water intake guidelines and factors that may affect your individual needs.

Recommended Water Intake Guidelines

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends the following daily water intake guidelines:

For men: Approximately 3.7 litres of total water intake per day.
For women: Approximately 2.7 litres of total water intake per day.

These guidelines include all sources of water, including water from food and other beverages. However, it is important to note that individual water needs can vary based on several factors.

Factors Affecting Individual Water Needs

1. Physical activity level

If you engage in regular physical activity or the weather is hot and humid, your water needs may be higher to replace fluid lost through sweating.

2. Health conditions

Certain health conditions, such as kidney disease, may require you to limit your fluid intake, while other conditions may increase your fluid needs.

3. Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnant and breastfeeding women may require additional fluid intake to support the needs of their growing baby.

4. Age

As we age, our sense of thirst may decrease, making it important to consciously drink enough water to stay hydrated.

5. Body weight

Your body weight can also affect your water needs, with larger individuals requiring more water than smaller individuals.

How to Monitor Your Water Intake

One easy way to monitor your water intake is to keep a reusable water bottle with you throughout the day and sip on it regularly. You can also track your intake using a smartphone app or a notebook. Additionally, monitoring the colour of your urine can give you an indication of your hydration status. Clear or pale-yellow urine generally indicates that you are adequately hydrated, while dark yellow or amber urine may indicate dehydration.

Make Hydration a priority

While the recommended water intake guidelines serve as a good starting point, individual needs can vary based on several factors. Monitoring your water intake and being aware of factors that may affect your needs can help you ensure that you are staying adequately hydrated for optimal health and wellness. Remember, drinking enough water is important for maintaining healthy body functions, so be sure to make hydration a priority in your daily routine.

Healthier Drinks for the Office

eonadmin — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 08:33:54 +0000

As an employer, it’s important to create a workplace environment that promotes health and wellness. One easy way to do this is by providing healthier drink options for the office. In this blog, we provide 5 reasons why employers should prioritise healthy drinks in the workplace.

1. Improved Employee Health and Productivity

Unhealthy drink options like fizzy, high sugar or chemically sweetened energy drinks can cause employees to experience sugar crashes, dehydration, and other health issues. By offering healthier drinks for the office such as our range of low or zero sugar, vitamin infused, alkaline waters and sodas, employees can stay hydrated and alert throughout the day. This can lead to increased productivity, better concentration, and fewer sick days.

2. Positive Company Culture

Providing healthier drink options can help foster a culture of wellness in the workplace. It sends a message to employees that their health and well-being are valued and prioritised by the company. This can lead to increased employee satisfaction, engagement, and retention.

3. Environmental Responsibility

Many unhealthy drink options are packaged in single-use plastic bottles that contribute to the growing problem of plastic waste. By providing refillable water bottles and other eco-friendly drink options, employers can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and reduce their environmental footprint.

4. Competitive Advantage

In today’s job market, employees are increasingly looking for employers that offer health and wellness benefits. Providing healthier drink options in your office can give your company a competitive edge and attract top talent.

5. Cost Savings

While it may seem like offering healthier drinks for your office or workplace may be more expensive, in the long run, it can actually save your company money. Healthier employees mean fewer sick days, lower healthcare costs, and increased productivity.

Providing healthier drink options for your office can have numerous benefits for both employers and employees. By prioritising health and wellness in the workplace, companies can create a positive culture, improve productivity, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Smart Soda vs Ready to Drink

eonadmin — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 09:45:34 +0000

If you are a busy office or hospitality manager and looking for an easier and more cost-effective way to do things, then believe us when we say there most definitely is an easier way! Save time and money and become more sustainable by ditching ready to drink beverages and replacing them with a Smart Soda drinks station. Here’s 8 reasons why you’ll be glad you did…

1. Space saving

Ready to drink beverages can take up a lot of fridge space but also need additional storage space for an organisation to benefit from economies of scale. Compare that to one of our modern and stylish drinks dispensers and it’s an absolute no brainer. Mix sparkling or still alkaline water with a delicious range of Smart Soda’s concentrated flavours from a compact countertop drinks machine.

2. Cost of refrigeration

Imagine how much money could be saved by not having to run all those fridges to cool ready to drink beverages. Our drinks dispensers for restaurants and offices use significantly less electricity by comparison.

3. Reduction in carbon footprint

Not having those large fridges not only reduces running costs but fewer deliveries mean less fuel consumption which is kinder to the planet. This in turns ticks boxes with both staff and customers, who tend to prefer planet friendly alternatives.

4. Time saved

Stocking fridges with cans and bottles takes up valuable time. Our drinks dispensers mean that kind of chore becomes obsolete. Simplify ordering and deliveries and change up the flavours whenever you like.

5. Reduce recycling

Installing a drinks dispenser means no more glass or plastic bottles to collect and recycle. Another time saving and a further reduction in your carbon footprint.

6. No more single use plastic

We encourage the use of refillable bottles, glasses and cups and only supply biodegradable cups and no single use plastic. The majority of people feel uncomfortable with single use plastic, not to mention legislation coming in which could result in an outright ban.

7. Customisable to your exact preference

Smart Soda offers users the opportunity to customise and personalise drinks. Offering combinations of flavours with or without fizz, all in a healthy alkaline water base. Exactly how you like it!

8. Cost comparison

Buying ready to drink beverages can be expensive compared to post mix. Speak to us about how much money can be saved by installing a Smart Soda beverage machine for your office, restaurant, spa or gym.

Why Smart Soda?

Doing our bit for the planet couldn’t be easier. Our drinks platforms blend the carefully crafted concentrates with mains fed water at the point of dispense, fresh for every customer. This way we remove the distribution, storage and waste disposal of lorry loads of plastic bottles and cans.

Each of our 5L bag-in-box drinks removes 120 (330ml) cans or 80 (500ml) bottles from the distribution chain. Even our boxes are re-cyclable.

Imagine limitless delicious alkaline and flavoured sparkling water on tap in your store, bar, restaurant or place of work. No ordering, storing or throwing out single-use plastic bottles or cans. Drink delicious and healthier sodas and flavoured waters whilst minimising your ecological footprint. We are on our journey to be one of the most sustainable soft drinks supplier in the UK.

Case Study | Two Sigma

eonadmin — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 11:18:07 +0000

Overcoming challenges with flexibility and a positive attitude

The provision of drinks and snacks to employees is one of the most enjoyed perks of the job, according to research on staff preferences. An office drinks station in particular, also ticks boxes on the sustainability checklist by reducing waste and recycling. If it saves money and time too then even better.

We wanted to hear from Two Sigma, based in the City of London, about how they were getting on with their new drink’s dispensers. We won’t exaggerate, there were challenges along the way, but our team met them head-on, offering flexibility and a positive attitude to problem-solving.

These are their refreshingly straight-talking words…

How did it all begin, why did you want to look at different options for office beverages?

“For environmental/waste management reasons, we were moving away from single-use plastic water bottles as a firm; in London we decided to explore taking things a step further, because while aluminium cans are highly and efficiently recyclable, aluminium production is very energy intensive – to say nothing of the carbon footprint associated with bauxite mining, and shipment of the finished product.”

How did you find us and what made you contact us?

“We mounted an internet-based search for firms in the sector and requested proposals to compare and evaluate product quality, service levels, and price.”

What were your main criteria for a drinks dispenser and how did Smart Soda fit with your requirements?

“Range and taste of drinks dispensed, ease of use, ease of maintenance, and vitally, compact form factor, to fit into our already-built pantries. Because of a lack of free under-the-counter space, to get the number of drinks to an appealing level, we went with a pair of LILLY dispensers on their own supply cabinets operating in tandem on each floor. A single unit would have been preferable (and presumably more energy-efficient), but the arrangement is satisfactory.”

How would you describe the service you received from Smart Soda and were there any special challenges that needed to be met?

“Good, in terms of product demonstration and sales process, and we appreciated the help with contracting the CO2 supplier.
Installation involved liaising with our contractors who had to make kitchen modifications to accommodate the equipment, which we managed, but we would advise potential clients to ‘spec in’ drinks machines in the initial construction phase wherever possible.”

What are your thoughts on the new beverage machines so far? What do you feel have been the biggest benefits?

“The drinks are proving popular, even among people who had strong views on brand before they tried them. The potential to introduce seasonal variation without too much difficulty is welcome, though we have yet to experiment here. Several staff have praised the environmental initiative, and aside from reducing container waste, there is probably less product waste, too, insofar as you are not tied to 330 ml increments and can pour exactly as much as you wish to drink. Cost savings per drink are clear, but of course, there is substantial construction and installation costs and lease overhead to overcome before we feel the true benefit of them.”

What would you suggest to others thinking about changing from cans and bottles to an office drinks station?

“Staff (particularly young staff) will appreciate the effort being made, though, the verdict being unequivocally in on single-use plastic and going that way for cans. It’s worth doing – and if it’s worth doing at all it is probably worth doing now.”

And finally, is there a favourite flavour?

“I think we have a close running tie between the Cola and Orange Crush flavours here.”
