Love Your Soda Stream...again

Summer is a great time to enjoy your SodaStream™. We loved our SodaStream™, until we discovered that exchanging our empty CO2 cartridges at local Big Box stores for $20 was not all that convenient, environmentally conscious, or cost effective. In January of this year, we decided there had to be a better way.

SodaStream™ in Canada

Today, sparkling water has entered the mainstream market as the number one substitute for harmful, sugary soft drinks that health-conscious people are trying to avoid. SodaStream™ enables consumers to enjoy endless carbonation at home or at work, without hassle, and help save the planet at the same time. Customers can now prevent hundreds of single-use plastic bottles going to the landfill with one reusable SodaStream™ bottle. Rapidly expanding in Canada with six percent of all Canadian households now owning a SodaStream™, its parent company, Pepsico (think Pepsi) acquired the company for $3.2 billion in 2017, with plans to triple to 18%, or one in five households in Canada, making it the fourth largest market in the world, behind Germany, the U.S. and France.

Environmentally Friendly Alternative

Until a couple of years ago, all Soda Stream CO2 cartridges were shipped out of Canada to be refilled in New Jersey. More recently, a single Canadian facility in Ontario now refills these cartridges. Shipping cartridges 1000’s of kilometers from Ontario to the consumer, back to Love Your Soda Ontario for filling, and back to the Stream…again. customer as an exchange cartridge comes at massive economic and environmental costs.

All This Goodness Now Costs Less…

In the age of Amazon and Covid, fast efficient doorstep delivery has become the new norm. In January of 2021, The Soda Exchange launched right here in the Cowichan Valley, to offer SodaStream™ customers on Vancouver Island a delivery and exchange program where empty CO2 cartridges are exchanged for full ones, on their doorstep. As a bonus, Soda Exchange orders of 3 or more refills qualify for Free Delivery. Instead of going to Big Box stores to exchange CO2 cartridges for $20 each, The Soda Exchange delivers for only $10 each, saving clients 50%, or hundreds of dollars a year for the typical family.

Hundreds of Vancouver Island customers of Cowichan Valleybased The Soda Exchange now enjoy home delivery and cartridge exchange added to the convenience of their SodaStreams™.
