Revolymer launches non-stick chewing gum in US

ERJ staff report (DS)

Bristol, UK -- Revolymer Ltd has launched its new brand, Rev7, a high quality confectionery chewing gum to US consumers. For the first time, the product is also removable and degradable, making it the world's first commercially available environmentally friendly gum. The product is based on a compound originally invented by chemistry Professor Terence Cosgrove of the UK's Bristol University.

The United States is the world's largest chewing gum market. It is estimated that over 300,000 tons of chewing gum will be sold this year in the US alone and after chewing this results in approximately 120,000 tons of residual chewing gum cuds which remains in the environment every year.
