Dutch-based Vortice raises €350K to develop soda maker for sustainable drinking habits
Summary
The Netherlands-based Vortice, a beverage tech company, announced on Friday, September 29, that it has secured €350K in a fresh round of funding from UNIIQ. Vortice aims to address the alarming environmental impact of PET bottle production in Europe, which contributes to 17.6 million tons of CO2 emissions annually. The startup is developing an “innovative” soda maker for sparkling and sustainable drinking habits. The company’s focus on sustainable drinking habits is driven by studies revealing that water bottle production has a CO2 footprint 1,000 to 2,000 times larger than that of tap water. Vortice’s soda maker offers a green alternative, promoting eco-friendly and convenient sparkling drinks while actively reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional plastic bottles.
