While the majority of plant-based beverages are sold by the bottle or carton and ready to pour, Bonneterre is a French plant-based brand that sets itself apart with plant-based beverage concentrates that require customers to add their own water before serving. In doing so, the brand reduces its carbon impact and shares product packaging on a smaller scale.
A 50cl concentrate makes one liter of plant-based almond or oat milk, and these drinks also share the benefit of being organic.
Although these concentrates need to be prepared by the consumer before they are ready to be enjoyed, they specifically speak to those who are passionate about taking steps to reduce their personal and household impact where it is possible to do so.
