Quas: Where Gut Health Meets Earth's Wealth

At Quas, we're on a mission to harmonise gut health with environmental sustainability. We live in a defining moment where our actions today profoundly impact the future of our planet. If we weren't dedicated to restoring gut health with our probiotic-rich kvass, we'd be on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

Adopting a 'climate-first thinking' approach from the outset, we carefully consider our environmental impact at every stage. This ethos has guided us to minimise our footprint during production, including the source materials and packaging. Now, through our partnership with Shopify's Planet programme, we're tackling the challenge at the distribution stage.

Just like the diverse microbiomes vital for our health, a balanced and thriving planet is essential for our future. At Quas, we believe in caring for our planet as attentively as we care for your gut!

Cans May Be Light, But Our Liquid Packs a Hefty Punch

Transporting any liquids, like our gut-loving kvass, inherently carries an environmental cost. While our cans are lightweight, the liquid itself adds significant weight, increasing the carbon footprint of delivery. We recognise this impact and are actively exploring ways to minimise it as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability.

What's the Shopify Planet and How Does It Work

Shopify's Planet app is like a superhero sidekick for businesses who want to fight climate change. It's a simple deal: for every order you make with us, a tiny bit of magic (and science) happens. We calculate the carbon footprint of shipping our kvass to you and then contribute towards projects that pull that carbon right out of thin air!

How Quas Contributes to Carbon Offsetting

We're not just offsetting our emissions - we're going full superhero mode! We're supporting cutting-edge technologies that are more futuristic than a sci-fi movie. Imagine capturing carbon from truck tailpipes (thanks, Remora!), or using plant waste to snatch CO2 from the atmosphere (high-five, Charm!). It's not just about being carbon-neutral; it's about being carbon-negative!
