Chewston, we have a problem…

Once upon a time on this very planet, big gum brands decided to make their chewing gum from plastic. They’re still doing it.

Today, around 374 billion pieces of gum get chewed annually, and most of that is made from a petroleum-derived, single-use plastic gum base.

Plastic Free Gum

When news of this plastic problem reached the Milliways Universe, we fired up the gumpany car and set off on a mission to make our very own planet friendly gum. We scoured the globe for nature’s finest plant powered and plastic free ingredients. We chewed and we chomped until we created the ultimate Plastic Free Gum.
