TREE GUM

CHEW ME & PLANT A TREE - natural Swiss chewing gum

TREE GUM powered by Haddock AG
TREE GUM powered by Haddock AG Siebnen, CH

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

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 real alternative, a tasty chewing gum with a natural chewing base made from the chicle tree.
And that is not enough: For every sold multipack we have a tree planted - so: CHEW ME & PLANT A TREE

The chicle tree in the deep jungle is the source for our chewing base. Our natural gum is made from the sap of the tree, which is harvested sustainably. Without plastic, without sugar, without GMO, but vegan and biodegradable. And everything produced in Switzerland.

We have two delicious flavours ready for you: The classic SPEARMINT & the spicy CINNAMON. With your support, you will not only be the first ones to taste the great new chewing gum, but you are simultaneously planting trees and getting your hands on some fun requisites...

In cooperation with our friends from growmytree.com, with every sold multipack of TREE GUM, we will plant a tree in Madagascar or Nepal. Guaranteed and certified.

With our crowdfunding campaign we are planting an additional 1000 trees for every financing stage. If our goals are exceeded we will keep planting as many trees as you order goodies.

So by chewing gum ...;-) we help to neutralize our CO2 emissions. For real!

So, while chewing on our gums...;-), we are helping to neutralize our CO2 emissions, for real !

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.
