The bottle is also compatible with this model... Both the somewhat slimmer bottle and this one have the same opening... As far as I know, only the glass bottles do not work...
Hello,
I'd like to clarify the correct way to recycle SodaStream bottles.
Even though their packaging says "Sprudlerflasche PET", these bottles are actually refillable pressurised containers, not single-use bottles.
Even though they are made from PET, they are :
- Thicker and reinforced to withstand the pressure of the gas,
- not designed to be recycled in the same way as single-use PET bottles for drinks.
PET Recycling Schweiz points out that only single-use PET drinks bottles (mineral water, soft drinks, juices, etc.) should be deposited in PET collection containers - not thicker, reusable containers, oil bottles, household product bottles or refillable pressurised containers.
So, although the SodaStream bottle is made of PET, it belongs to a different category (durable plastic article) and must therefore not :
🗑️ not be placed in the usual PET collection bins.
It must be disposed of :
- either in the plastics collection bins if your local authority offers one (often available from waste collection centres or certain large retailers such as Migros or Coop),
- or, failing that, with household waste destined for incineration.
The bottle fits all SodaStream devices except the Crystal model. So it is not specifically designed for the SodaStream Art model, but if the Art model is not the Crystal, it should fit.
To my understanding there is no recycling for SodaStream bottles...this means you throw them in the regular trash.
On the other hand and in the same line, SodaStream is not recycling friendly corporation. Once the 2 years guarantee is passed they don't repair machines. They ask you to buy a new one. I am just experiencing this after my 179CHF machine that i bought 4 years ago was not carbonating correctly. They told me as the machines are so cheap they do not repair the machines! :-0
Very eco-friendly approach!
