When we started Better Booch, we set out to create not just organic kombucha with amazing flavor, but a sustainable beverage brand that's good for both your gut health and our planet. Today, we're sharing the thoughtful choices behind our packaging and production that make our kombucha more environmentally friendly.

WHY BETTER BOOCH CHOOSES ALUMINUM CANS FOR OUR KOMBUCHA

If you've wondered why we package our kombucha in cans rather than glass bottles, the answer goes beyond aesthetics. Our commitment to sustainable kombucha practices drives everything we do.

ALUMINUM CANS ARE INFINITELY RECYCLABLE

Aluminum exists in what sustainability experts call a "closed loop recycling system." Unlike plastic or other materials that degrade with each recycling cycle, aluminum cans can be recycled infinitely without losing quality. The can in your hand today could become another can, a bike part, or even components in an electric vehicle next month.

HIGHER RECYCLING RATES THAN GLASS BOTTLES

Here's a fact that might surprise you: aluminum is 70% more likely to be recycled than glass bottles. This higher recycling rate means our kombucha packaging is much more likely to get a second life. Plus, most aluminum is recycled right here in the US, reducing transportation emissions and avoiding international shipping complications.

BETTER PROTECTION FOR PROBIOTIC KOMBUCHA

Our organic kombucha contains living probiotic cultures that need protection. Aluminum provides a perfect shield against visible light, which can degrade both the beneficial bacteria and affect the taste of our carefully crafted fermented tea. When you crack open a can of Better Booch, you're getting all the gut-healthy probiotics and flavors exactly as we intended.

LOWER CARBON FOOTPRINT IN KOMBUCHA DISTRIBUTION

Aluminum weighs significantly less than glass, making a substantial difference in our carbon footprint during transportation. Lighter loads require less fuel when shipping our probiotic kombucha from our brewery to your refrigerator, stores, or health food markets.

BEYOND THE CAN: SUSTAINABLE KOMBUCHA PRODUCTION PRACTICES

Our commitment to eco-friendly kombucha production extends beyond our packaging choices:

ORGANIC TEA WASTE COMPOSTING

After brewing our kombucha with organic tea, we give the used tea leaves to local farmers for composting. This sustainable practice returns valuable nutrients to the soil and completes a natural cycle, reducing waste from our kombucha fermentation process.

ECO-FRIENDLY SHIPPING MATERIALS

When we ship our probiotic kombucha directly to your doorstep, it arrives in fully recyclable packaging. We've carefully selected materials that easily enter the recycling stream, avoiding unnecessary waste while ensuring your fermented tea beverages arrive safely.

KOMBUCHA THAT'S BETTER FOR YOU AND THE PLANET

At Better Booch, we believe that better gut health and environmental sustainability go hand in hand. The microbiome in your gut functions as an ecosystem, and so does our world. Both thrive on balance, diversity, and thoughtful care.

We're constantly exploring new ways to improve our sustainable kombucha practices, because making things better is what we do – it's in our name, after all.

Next time you enjoy a can of Better Booch organic kombucha, you can feel good knowing your choice supports not just your gut health, but the planet's wellbeing too.

Now that's something worth raising a can to! 🌱
