What does this brand sell?
Gumdrop was founded in 2011 to tackle gum littering. Gumdrop was created using a closed loop design, where gum waste could be used to make bins to collect waste chewing gum. The bins have been installed in collaboration with many companies and brands, and have shown to reduce gum litter by up to 90%.
But, the bin is just one side of the story: the recycled gum has been used to create GUM-TEC®, a new sustainable polymer compound that can be used for many applications such as wearables, construction and the cleaning sector. You can buy the Gumdrop bins on-the-go as well as their GUM-TEC items, and as a company or organization you can get in touch to install a bin at your location or collaborate in a different way.
