PLASTIC FREE, PLANT BASED, AND BIODEGRADABLE
Did you know that each piece of regular chewing gum contains the same amount of single-use plastic as a drinking straw? Yet, while plastic straws and many other single-use plastic items are banned, regular chewing gum is still readily available!
Nuud (nuudgum.com) is the plastic free, plant based, biodegradable, sugar free chewing gum.
Nuud are the David to the Goliath that is big gum
The gum category is dominated by one enormous player that is unwilling to acknowledge, let alone expose the truth about regular gum. Nuud is completely disrupting the chewing gum game. They’re on a mission to raise awareness of the plastic gum issue with the 85% of UK adults who are unaware that regular chewing gum contains single-use plastic.

“Most people don’t know that regular chewing gum is made of single-use plastic and isn’t compostable,” says Keir Carnie, founder of Nuud. “The government spends around £100 million a year cleaning up gum from our streets. We want to tackle this and effect a whole scale change in behaviour when it comes to chewing gum”
