CO₂Sustain unifies its technologies into one breakthrough product

Leeds, UK — February 2026 — CO₂Sustain®, the specialist drinks technology company, today announced the merger of its two flagship solutions — CO₂Sustain™ and TasteMod²™ into a single, next-generation product, TM², engineered to deliver two powerful benefits for drink manufacturers:

1. Superior taste modification
2. Enhanced carbonation retention

This strategic move comes in direct response to feedback from leading brands, co-packers and NPD teams around the world, who increasingly seek a single, multifunctional solution to solve modern formulation and production challenges.

As demand grows for low- and no-sugar drinks, manufacturers face intensified challenges around sweetener aftertastes, carbonation stability and foaming during production. Customers told CO₂Sustain® they wanted a simpler, more powerful product that brings all performance benefits together so they can:

• streamline formulations and improve the consumer drink experience
• reduce stevia foaming issues on production lines,
• accelerate NPD timelines,
• and maintain product quality at scale.

“Our customers were clear: they wanted the full capability of both technologies in one easy-to-use ingredient,” said Jamie Bentley, CEO of CO₂Sustain®.

“As innovators, it’s our responsibility to stay agile and evolve with the needs of the drinks industry. Unifying our technology into one product TM² not only simplifies the process for formulators it strengthens our position as a trusted, responsive partner.”

TM² is the new, unified CO₂Sustain® product has been engineered to deliver the complete functional performance expected from both original solutions:

Taste improvement: Reduces bitterness, metallic notes and lingering sweetness often associated with modern sweetener systems, enhancing flavour clarity and mouthfeel.

Carbonation retention: Stabilises CO₂ more effectively, helping drinks stay fizzier for longer and improving the consumer experience from first sip to last.

This integration strengthens CO₂Sustain®’s commitment to continuous innovation and customer-driven development.

By simplifying its portfolio, the business is making its technology more accessible, ensuring beverage developers can benefit from maximum functionality with minimal formulation complexity.

“This isn’t just a product update — it’s a reflection of how we work,” added Jamie. “We innovate alongside our customers. When they succeed, we succeed.”
