TREE GUM
CHEW ME & PLANT A TREE - natural Swiss chewing gum
Project Overview
Conventional chewing gum uses plastic as the chewing base. This is why the chewing and swallowing of "normal" chewing gum is bad for the human body, and by spitting it out, bad for the environment. We want to change that and launch a tasty chewing gum with a natural chewing base made from the chicle tree. And that is not enough: For every sold multipack we will have a tree planted - so: CHEW ME & PLANT A TREE

With Haddock we are developping promising concepts especially in the the food and beverage sectors. Sustanability is of great importance to us and thanks to our independence we are not bound to common conventions of the industry.
With TREE GUM we are launching a delicious, natural, sustainable Swiss chewing gum.
I am a chewing gum heavy user. When I realized that I was chewing plastic all the time, I knew I had to do something about it.
With TREE GUM we have found a natural solution that is good to chew on... Good in taste, good for me and good for the environment.
I love being outside in nature, whether I am freeriding, biking, climbing or jogging. Hence, it only makes sense for me to do something for the environment and that is why, with TREE GUM, we are not only lauching a great sustainable chewing gum, but we are also planting a tree for every multipack sold.
