We are thrilled to share that REBBL is one of the first in the food industry to transition to 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles! Working with a team of environmental and packaging design experts to bring to market sustainable packaging, our new Green Packaging Initiative converts used plastic into our new 12 oz plastic bottles, which in turn conserves resources, reduces landfill, and capitalizes on the energy already invested in making existing plastic products.

It’s a complex and costly process but one we are proud to prioritize as a leading member of the Climate Collaborative, which represents a cohort of natural products companies working to reverse climate change through climate action commitments in nine key areas, including packaging. A core part of REBBL’s mission is to create positive social and environmental impact in conjuction with delivering truly delicious and nourishing plant-based beverages. 

Deep Dive into the Problem & Solution

REBBL’s green packaging initiative is an important solution for reducing environmental waste. Recycling one ton of plastic containers saves 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space. But recycling isn’t just about sorting plastics into the correct waste stream. According to a recent National Geographic article, only about 9% of ‘recyclables’ actually go through the recycling process due to the inefficiencies of the U.S. recycling infrastructure. As it currently stands, it is much cheaper to create new plastic rather than process used plastic. Collectively, we need to create a market for existing plastic.

Today’s shoppers have the power to play a substantial role in shifting the environmental landscape. Through responsible purchasing decisions, consumers can help create a market for post-consumer recycled plastic. REBBL also ships all of their online orders in boxes, liners, and ice packs that are fully biodegradable or curb-side recyclable. REBBL aims to incentivize the recycling industry by growing the demand for post-consumer recycled plastics, and ultimately revolutionize the food industry.

Shopping Green and Shipping Green

Not only are our bottles made from 100% recycled material, but we also ship our plant-based beverages in environmentally green packaging. When you order REBBL online for delivery, all our boxes, liners, and ice packs are fully biodegradable or curbside recyclable. We partner with one of the only suppliers of sustainable, curbside recyclable insulation for shipping perishable items–a great alternative to styrofoam which is still used by many brands in the natural food space. 

On top of that, we are transitioning to new ice packs, which can be used as plant fertilizer (because you know how much we love plants!). This eco-friendly ice pack that recycles as plant food has has been shown to increase plant growth by 25%.   

At REBBL, we’re committed to making sustainable choices that are literally good for the Earth!

We are REBBL With a Cause and we are partnering with actor and activist Ruby Rose on a sweepstakes and drive donations to the Anti-Racism Fund (ARF). For the duration of the sweepstakes, from August 1-21, 2020, we are contributing 5% of online sales to ARF, which takes action by providing capital to organizations as a way to inject social change.

About The Anti-Racism Fund

As a response to the inequities experienced by the Black Community, the Anti-Racism Fund provides a platform to streamline the donation process into targeted organizations that take action to fight injustice at a systemic level. These organizations include: The Bail Project, The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., Equal Justice Initiative, Black Aids Institute, and TGI Justice Project — all of which support ARF’s Four Pillars of Purpose:

Justice System Reform

Institutional racism permeates every step of the legal system, from policing to sentencing. We identify organizations that specialize in dismantling racial inequalities and uphold American constitutional rights.

Including but not limited to:

• Legal Representation
• Mass Incarceration
• Government Accountability

Education Parity

Education is one the greatest equalizers in eliminating racial disparities in the United States. We support organizations who provide educational opportunities and resources to our communities.

Including but not limited to:

• After School Programs
• Financial Literacy
• Resource Access (laptops, books, etc.)

Health & Wellness Access

The Black community experiences significant disparities throughout the medical system when it comes to access to care, preventive screenings, and mental health. We collaborate with organizations who minimize these gaps in access and care.

Including but not limited to:

• Access to Medication
• Mental Health
• Food Security

Community Outreach & Social Justice Advocacy

To build social, political, and financial strength our community needs support. We partner with organizations that build our community from the ground up.

Including but not limited to:

• Voting Registration & Education
• Music & Arts
• LGBTQIA+ rights
• Economic Parity

REBBL is supporting the Anti-Racism Fund because our company was founded to create positive social and environmental impact. Through our products and partnerships, we address inequities by sourcing ingredients from communities in need of economic empowerment; doing so creates dignified and sustainable livelihoods for these communities and reduces their vulnerability to exploitation. Yet we recognize we must do more to address inequities and injustices closer to home. We are committed to progressing Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (J.E.D.I.).

At the beginning of 2019, REBBL became one of the first companies to join the J.E.D.I. Collaborative, which is an OSC2 network of natural products companies dedicated to address inequity. Last year, we also started an internal J.E.D.I. committee at REBBL to put practices in place. As we move forward, we will be sharing more deeply about the initiatives of our J.E.D.I. Committee. We are working on fostering an inclusive culture that ensures those who have been marginalized are lifted up, heard, and part of decision making. We don’t pretend to have all the answers, but we’re committed to listening, learning and being a positive force for change.

Hollywood actor, human rights activist, and chief REBBL rouser Ruby Rose joins us in celebrating plant power! Super herbs, adaptogens, and plants are a huge part of Ruby’s lifestyle. She follows a plant-based diet to fuel her action-packed, busy schedule which can sometimes include working 12+ hour days. Ruby has discovered that super herbs and adaptogens are key to keeping her feeling balanced. Here, we sit down with Ruby to learn more about how she keeps her body fueled with super herbs!

Q. Why did you start incorporating super herbs in your life?

With constantly changing roles, travel and a busy schedule, I found that incorporating super herbs into my diet was the perfect way to help prepare myself both physically and mentally for a new project.

Creating concoctions with the right super herbs and adaptogens takes time….that I often don’t have, and if you’ve ever tried to mix Ashwagandha or Maca into your own beverage, it often doesn’t really taste that great, so when I stumbled upon REBBL super herb elixirs at Whole Foods, I knew they had to be a staple in my refrigerator. I also use their plant-based protein drinks with super herbs ahead of workouts and love REBBL’s Ashwagandha Spicy Chai to help support my strength and vitality.

Q. What is your key to relaxation with such an arduous schedule? Any meditation tips?

Outside of using adaptogens, I have added Chinese Martial arts and a meditation practice called Qi Gong to my life. Those practices have changed my life and health! There are great apps for this also like “calm” and “gaia” is great also.

Q. How do you recover from such an intense film schedule and stay healthy?

In addition to herbs like ashwagandha and reishi, I take a vast number of supplements – including zinc, magnesium, vitamin C, Echinacea and a multivitamin. This help keep my immune system up and allows my body to bounce back quickly, especially when my travel schedule is intense. Also, drinking your weight in water and getting a good night’s sleep is essential!

Q. What foods/super herbs do you eat to prepare yourself for your superhero role?

I follow a plant-based diet and typically start my day with some muesli and vegan yogurt. I typically add a drink with ginger to help give me energy or if I’m in a hurry I reach for REBBL’s Turmeric Golden-Milk for joint support and digestive health.

During the day I snack on fruit (I love cherries when they’re in season) and carrot sticks. I am also sickly obsessed with hummus, to the point that I will find the best hummus spots in every city. I need my protein so I make sure I always have shakes, bars or greens to get me through.

Q. What’s your soul’s passion/what enlivens you?

Creating, storytelling, music, my friends and family and, of course, my three dogs… well 4 including Daisy who lives with my grandad in Australia.

Q. What’s your favorite herbal ingredient?

My favorite herb is Reishi. It is called the “divine mushroom of immortality” for its immunity support and I hope that my work and business ventures will reflect this same sense of timeless immortality.

We are excited to announce the addition of two new flavors to our line of REBBL Sparkling Prebiotic Tonics: Tropical Twist and Lemon Lime. These new plant-based beverages are hydrating and refreshing. As with the rest of the line, they also help support digestive health.

1. Add the rice, REBBL Vanilla Protein, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to a medium saucepan. Whisk to combine, then cover and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally, until thick, creamy and the rice is cooked through.
3. Serve warm or cold, topped with coconut flakes, pomegranate seeds (or raisins), and a cinnamon stick for garnish. The pudding will thicken as it cools, so feel free to thin it with a splash more REBBL Vanilla Protein, if you’d like.
