Eco-Friendly Benefits
The green benefits of a soda siphon or seltzer bottle include:
Smaller carbon footprint vs. plastic bottles. The manufacturing cost of a seltzer bottle occurs once and it is used over and over.
The manufacturing costs of plastic bottles occurs continually and are disposed of continually for a much higher total environmental cost.
CO2 is an earth friendly gas given off by plants naturally.
Chargers are made of steel and can be recycled like a tin can with your other everyday recyclables.
Financial Benefits
You only buy a soda siphon once and get years of use from it.
The cost of carbonated water made with a soda siphon is less than many bottled waters.
Example: Ten boxes of Mr. Fizz chargers will cost you $44.10. That is 100 chargers at $.44 each. Each charger makes 1 quart (about 1 liter) of seltzer. So your seltzer made with a seltzer bottle cost you $.44 per quart.
Convenience
You don’t have to lug home dozens of bottles of water from the store every week.
CO2 chargers take up considerably less space than bottled water.
One box of 10 chargers, which makes 10 quarts of seltzer, will fit in the same space as 1 plastic pint bottle of water.
Never run out of seltzer: it is much easier and takes less space to have extra chargers on hand than extra bottles of water.
