SodaStream users could soon enjoy homemade Pepsi, 7 Up, and Mountain Dew. Israeli at-home water carbonation products company SodaStream International Ltd. will start offering concentrates for 10 of its parent company PepsiCo Inc.’s most popular soft drink brands, SodaStream announced Wednesday.

The financial savings for consumers will be marginal—homemade soft drinks will cost about $0.93 per liter instead of $0.95 for a pre-bottled product—but the main advantage will be a reduction in the use of disposable plastic bottles.

The concentrates will be manufactured at SodaStream’s factory in southern Israeli town Ashkelon and will only be available at first in Sweden and Norway. Distribution in Germany and France will begin March 2020.

PepsiCo’s main competitor, The Coca-Cola Company, made a similar attempt at offering a homemade soft drink maker for its brands in 2015, but failed, arguably due to the product’s relatively high price tag.

PepsiCo acquired SodaStream for $3.2 billion last year.

2.MsWill it be palm oil free? Pepsi has been one of the leaders in palm oil use which contributes to the deforestation of orangutan habitat. Think carefully before you use their products.... we need the animals risked and the rainforest.

1.UK SodastreamShame the UK arm of Sodastream have ditched all their cola, lemonade etc for hint of fruit flavoured water concentrated instead. If I wanted those, I'd dunk a strawberry in the water. Get with it UK Sodastream.
