50 years after laying on the down low<\/em>, the Danish sweets company is back! This time, with a new outlook of our oceans with their candy in BenBits \u2013 Plastic Free!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that somewhere in the ocean right now, there is enough plastic waste in the blue ocean that is the size of a small island that is currently floating around the Pacific? But that\u2019s not all, the very same plastic that is killing off our glorious marine life could very well be rolling around in your mouth right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may not know this, but chewing gums is made with a mix of natural and synthetic ingredients. This includes synthetic rubber that is used in the manufacturing of vehicle tyres as well as the aforementioned plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To satiate the sweet tooth of people worldwide, while also reducing the plastic that ends back up in the ocean. Legendary confectioner and sweets company from Netherlands BenBits teamed up with PlusOne to create a marketing campaign. One that reflects on the company\u2019s new environmental message through the only way they know how: A musical!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BenBits newest sweet on the block is, you guessed it, chewing gum. But this isn\u2019t any old chewing gum that you\u2019re used to chewing on! The candy is 100% made with natural ingredients such as peppermint and spearmint for a refreshing treat. But where the candy starts to shine is the gum part of the sweet. Which is natural gum from the Chicozapote Tree in Mexico. So that even if you dispose of it, it will decompose and return to the earth once more. Oh, and so is the packaging. Not an ounce of plastic is found even in the little packets and box!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While BenBits is perfecting their new sweets, so is PlusOne over at Amsterdam. To start work on a marketing campaign to remember. Still haunted by the video of a sea turtle having a plastic straw pulled out from its nose, the animators decided to use the same animal and portray it in a positive light. Doing their part in cleaning up the plastic waste in their homes in a cutesy musical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, a portion of all profits made from the BenBits\u2019 sales goes directly to the Plastic Soup Foundation. A non-profit marine conservation organization that helps further the vision of a plastic-free ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a sweet tooth for chewing gum and love the ocean and the marine wildlife within. Keep an eye out for BenBits<\/a>\u2018 sugar-free chewing gum if you\u2019re ever walking around the Netherlands!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
