True Gum – Plastic-free and vegan chewing gum
They stick to asphalt and under shoes, dirty roads, pollute water, generate high disposal costs and kill animals: chewing gums. But there is help for it, as True Gum from Denmark tastefully proves. There is more than a shred of truth in the company name – True Gum is a plastic-free, vegan and biodegradable chewing gum. A sustainable alternative for chewing gum fans and for our planet.
Natural chewing gum ingredients
While conventional chewing gum consists almost exclusively of synthetic raw materials and petroleum-based polymers, True Gum uses the milky sap from the sapotilla tree as the basic material for the gum. Native jungle societies, the chicleros, extract the sap from gum trees using a centuries-old harvesting technique. After careful sourcing, the raw ingredients arrive at our chewing gum factory in Copenhagen, Denmark – the smallest and most artisan chewing gum factory in the world. In a unique production technique, the natural chewing gum raw ingredients are mixed, kneaded and stretched in order to arrive at the perfect combination of texture and taste.
True taste with natural ingredients
Beside the chewing mass of plastic, conventional chewing gum contains sugar, fillers and flavuors and sometimes palm oil. Instead of these questionable substances, in addition to chicle True Gum uses Xylitol as a plantbased sweetener, derived from birch trees and stevia from the stevia plant. True Gum gets its taste in a natural way through natural flavouring. The classic mint chewing gum contains natural mint and a generous dash of raw matcha powder. The chewing gum with ginger and turmeric is lively and warming. The chewing gum liquorice & euclaptus has the typically Scandinavian flavour. Raspberry and Vanilla is for chewing gum fans who love it fruity and sweet.
Sustainable chewing gum from True Gum
The petroleum-based plastic is a problem with disposal of waste. Chewing gum that is carelessly spit at the floor is non-biodegradable and causes high costs for city cleaning companies to remove chewing gum. True Gum counteracts this with the natural ingredients that are biodegradable. However, this is not an argument to simply spit chewing gum at the floor, but to dispose of it in the public sphere in provided dustbins.
True Gum also proves its taste in other sustainability criteria. The sustainable chewing gum is vegan certified and certified palm oil-free. It's gluten-free and lactose-free. The plastic-free packaging is recyclable. The Danish chewing gum factory True Gum fulfills its social responsibility by supporting supporting local communities and farmer cooperatives.
