Forest Gum

Ever chewed on plastic? Certainly. There’s plastic at the bottom of almost every conventional chewing gum. Marked on the packaging by the vague term "gum base", yet it is and remains the same raw material as plastic bottles or tyres. And they need centuries to rot, as we all know. On the whole, not quite yummy.

That's why we went the extra mile looking for a good alternative, we traveled around the world, cooked, experimented, and finally have developed a simple formula: super refreshing taste, natural ingredients, zero sugar. We do this without artificial flavours, chemical additives, and, above all, without plastic as gum base.

FOREST GUM launches a sugar-free natural chewing gum in mint flavour – number one taste for fresh breath. More exciting flavours are to follow.

The gum base of FOREST GUM is obtained from chicle tree sap. It grows in the tropics of Central America and will be preserved in the long term thanks to the traditional and sustainable cultivation by our local partner cooperatives.

Together we are taking action to protect the forests and to improve living conditions for the local families due to fair and direct cooperation with the cooperatives.

Our mission: to shake up the chewing gum market being the better alternative to chewing gum with plastic.

We consider the receipt as a ballot. Whether it's water, soda, chocolate, or chewing gum: every purchase decision has an impact. That’s why it is important to us to address a broad target group. Organic products, sustainability, and no plastic are no longer niche topics. They belong to the center of society, are relevant for all everyday products and then also for the chewing gum shelf. FOREST GUM is a mainstream product that is fair to people and nature.

Of course, FOREST GUM will be available in supermarkets, at kiosks and petrol stations. But it also shows up in the university canteen, in clubs and cafés, yoga or fitness studios. As cultural asset in miniature format, it puts the good old chewing gum vending machine back on the map, provides fresh breath at festivals, and stands for a sustainable lifestyle at the same time.

FOREST GUM is delicious, authentic, fun and deliberately breaks out of the ordinary – in terms of packaging, statement, and taste.

May we introduce ourselves? A small team with a big idea. FOREST GUM is still in the starting blocks – our natural chewing gum will be launched in Germany this year. For which we need your lovely support!
