Do you and your children love chewing gum?

Traditional chewing gum is made from a plastic gum base, which is not only less than ideal from a human health perspective, but is also why littered chewing gum remains stuck to pavements for many years, or elsewhere in the environment – it is fairly indestructible.

Chewsy is a brand of plastic-free, vegan-friendly, biodegradable chewing gum, which is also free from sugar and artificial sweeteners (using the healthier, natural xylitol instead) and flavourings.

Coming in four flavours – peppermint, cinnamon, spearmint and lemon – Chewsy gum has a natural gum base made from chicle and gum arabic, meaning that if it is accidentally swallowed, there is no plastic being ingested, and if it does end up on the street or in the ocean, it won’t be stuck there for ever.
