Air-Up is a technique that is currently making the buzz because it is the first drinking system that allows us to drink water while having the impression that it is flavored. Revolutionary, the technique is based on the retro-olfaction of our body. The sign has developed a gourd on which we just clip a flavored pod.

The brain then identifies them as a taste. So we have the impression of drinking flavored water while the bottle is simply filled with pure water. No more sodas or other drinks that are too sweet but also, no more disposable bottles, sources of plastic waste. In addition to helping us drink more, the brand has participated since its launch in saving 3 million 1L single-use plastic bottles, and more than 3 million liters of flavored water have been consumed!
