The Future is Plastic Free: Sustainable Innovation in Hydration
ViDrate will make hydration better, but the future is also about sustainable innovations. While it would be more common to see sports drinks packaged in a bottle made from PET, ViDrate’s sachet format cuts down single-use plastics dramatically, which consumers desire in eco-friendly solutions.
