UNROOTED Drinks started with a simple idea: great ingredients deserve thoughtful treatment. The baobab fruit, packed with fibre and vitamin C, forms the base of their functional shots, delivering flavour and nutrition in every 60ml glass bottle.
But the brand’s thinking goes beyond what’s inside. It stretches to the bottle itself, the communities that grow the ingredients, and the footprint each product leaves behind…
Every bottle sold supports tree planting and education in southern Africa, creating a tangible impact without compromising taste or quality.
That purpose extends to packaging. Glass is the obvious choice. Unlike other materials, it is chemically inert, it protects the drink from chemical leaching while preserving the sharp, natural flavours of baobab. It is also endlessly recyclable, keeping resources in use rather than in landfill.
Unrooted’s range, from Mighty Ginger to Super Greens, proves that functional, clean-label drinks can be powerful, convenient, and responsible. Each shot is vegan, caffeine-free, and designed for daily life, showing that small, considered choices, like using glass, can make a real difference.
For Unrooted, sustainability is not a tagline. It is part of the product’s DNA.
As Amber Numamoto, Head of Operations and Sustainability, explains:
“At UNROOTED, sustainability isn’t just a strategy for us, it’s our purpose. So, choosing glass was never about ticking a box; it’s about using a material that’s endlessly recyclable, non-toxic and one that helps us maintain a long shelf life creating less wastage through our entire supply chain. Glass protects the integrity of our products and mirrors the values we hold at UNROOTED.”
At UNROOTED, every bottle, every ingredient, and every decision reflects a brand that values quality, impact, and longevity. That is why they are a true Glass Champion, demonstrating that great drinks and smarter choices can go hand in hand.
