Vortice is building a portable soda maker centered on a patented "activator", a refillable bottle, and a smart carbonation cartridge that requires no external power. The device enables consumers to add flavour, fizz, and functional supplements anywhere, offering a convenient alternative to single‑use PET bottles. The company positions its product as a way to reduce the environmental impact of PET bottle production, which the article cites as causing 17.6 million tonnes of CO2 annually in Europe. Vortice says it will use the newly raised funds to complete product development and enter the market. Founded in 2022 and based in the Netherlands, the team is led by founder Niels Lammersen with co‑founders Miron Tigcheler, Robert Ketelarij, Remko Borgers, and Joris Leferink. The startup emphasizes health, personalized nutrition, and waste reduction as strategic priorities to encourage more sustainable drinking habits.
