Do good with every sip
Oh my goodness... Thanks to Kombuchery, you and your body not only feel good, but also have a clear conscience.
As a startup, we've been aware of our responsibility since day one, and social engagement and sustainability are important to us. That's why we're a proud member of 1% for the Planet and The Climate Pledge.
With every bottle you support selected projects around the world and thus consciously choose the better way to drink.
Together with Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli eV, we are building drinking water and sanitation facilities in Africa.
We use disposable bottles made of rPET and only use sustainable raw materials.
We offset unavoidable emissions by supporting reforestation.
Drinking Kombuchery helps
For us, responsibility means making a positive contribution in everything we do – through small but significant steps that, together, create lasting change. Every decision counts, whether it's the choice of ingredients or the projects we support. For us, responsibility is not just about setting ambitious goals, but also actively creating change through everyday, conscious actions.
1% for the Planet
We are a member of the organization 1% for the Planet. We thereby commit to donating at least 1% of our revenue annually to social and sustainable projects. These projects and partners are regularly monitored by 1% for the Planet to ensure that our donations are being used effectively.
Viva con Agua
From day one, we have followed the motto: Every bottle of Kombuchery provides clean drinking water. Together with Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli e.V., we build drinking water and sanitation facilities in Africa. Viva con Agua is an NGO from Hamburg that has been supported by our founder Max for over 10 years.
Plastic Bank
With every bottle of Kombuchery, we help protect our oceans. Together with Plastic Bank, we prevent plastic waste from ending up in the sea. Plastic Bank sets up collection points in affected coastal regions and at the same time creates new income opportunities for local communities. It’s a project that has been close to our founder Max’s heart for many years. Find out how much plastic we have already collected: See our impact
The Climate Pledge
We are proud to be one of the first German members of The Climate Pledge. From raw materials to the finished bottle, we focus on sustainability and resource conservation. That's why we use disposable deposit bottles made from 100% recycled rPET. This way, we contribute to the circular economy and conserve resources. And best of all, our shipping is climate-neutral.
Organic farming
In all our products, we use only high-quality, vegan organic ingredients that are regularly certified with the EU organic seal. This guarantees not only the highest quality but also sustainability in every bottle. For us, organic means taking responsibility for the environment and for taste.
Why disposable bottles?
Sustainable material: We use single-use bottles made from rPET, which is made from used plastic bottles, to conserve resources. This helps reduce waste and lower the demand for new raw materials.
Climate-friendly production: rPET has a better carbon footprint than glass or new plastic bottles because it requires less energy to produce. This helps us minimize the ecological footprint of our packaging and reduce CO₂ emissions.
Circular economy: By using rPET, we actively contribute to the circular economy and reduce CO₂ emissions. By using recycled material, we support the reuse of resources and create a more sustainable packaging system.
Our deposit cycle
Bottles with deposit for recycling: We use rPET bottles, which you can return after enjoying your kombucha under the DPG single-use deposit system. These bottles bear the single-use deposit symbol and can be returned at deposit machines throughout Germany.
Recycling and resource conservation: After return, the bottles are recycled and reprocessed. This reduces the need for new raw materials and improves the carbon footprint. rPET is more resource-efficient than glass or new plastic bottles.
Together for a sustainable future: By returning the deposit, you help close the loop. The deposit ensures that bottles are reused and waste is reduced, promoting the circular economy and contributing to a more sustainable future.
Gut health, just the way you like it
