Our Impact

We believe in the power of the gut! Health-Ade wants to help ALL people discover how awesome it is when we’re our happiest and healthiest selves. Part of being our best is doing our part to cultivate the happiest and healthiest communities around us. While our work starts at donating kombucha to underserved communities, it doesn’t stop there!

We’re working hard to grow our sustainability efforts year over year.
Here’s a look at our progress since 2020:

Carbon Footprint

We’re ALWAYS focused on reducing our carbon footprint on the road, and in 2021, we reduced freight and truck mileage by 1,800,000 miles, despite growing sales. Additionally, we switched to recyclable pallets. Through this effort we cut carbon emissions by almost 300,000 lbs and decreased landfill waste by 29,160 lbs.

Manufacturing Waste

In 2020 and 2021, we recycled 86% of our total waste in manufacturing, far exceeding LA county standards for recycling and recovery.

Water Stewardship

In 2021, we invested in water saving technology, reducing use by approximately 6,000 gallons of water every week and putting us well above the LA county average for manufacturing.

Packaging Optimization

Package with Purpose: We use more than 80% recyclable materials and make sure our packaging is Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) approved.

Cultivating a happy and healthy self begins with supporting
the community around us.
