And fortunately for you, they’re all plant based and plastic free! So, unlike regular brands, we can confirm all of the ingredients used in our recipes.
We have nothing to hide.Īt Nuud, we think it’s important that people know exactly what they’re buying, let alone putting in their mouth. It’s these ingredients that means their gum pollutes our planet, and will outlive you (that is unless you somehow live to be 500). However, when asked which brands included this ingredient, they were unable to confirm. Yum?! We thought not.įun fact! According to HuffPost UK, Wrigley, the company responsible for brands such as Extra, Hubba Bubba and Airwaves has confirmed that polyvinyl acetate is used in a selection of their products. Meanwhile, polyvinyl acetate is a thermoplastic polymer used to make the PVA glue we all know so well from our school days. Polyethylene is used in plastic bags and is also one of the main culprits behind the 21 million tonnes of micro-plastics thought to be in the Atlantic Ocean.
Isobutylene-isoprene copolymer (butyl rubber).Here’s a list of some of the plastics that can be found in regular gum: It’s deceiving, not to mention disgusting. But it’s out there for all to see – plastering our pavements and stuck to our shoes.
They can quietly contain plastics hidden under the term 'gum base' within their ingredients. You might not have known this yet because, by law, gum brands don’t have to disclose it. And in the UK alone, some 100,000 tons of it is chewed every year, with 95% of the country’s streets stained by it.
Regular chewing gum is a single-use plastic. Regular chewing gum accounts for some of the most blatant pollution in our day to day lives, and yet so many of us still don’t realise that it is a single-use plastic! Thousands of tons of plastic pollution is coming from our mouths – and most of us don't know it.
