Plastic in Our Gum?! Milliways Offers a Better Way

Milliways is rethinking one of the most overlooked everyday products by creating gum made without the plastic typically found in conventional chewing gum.

At Sweets & Snacks Expo 2026, Seeing Green spoke with Milliways about its lineup of plastic-free gum, the surprising connection between gum and microplastics and the company’s mission to create a biodegradable alternative made from plant-based ingredients instead of synthetic gum base.

The conversation also explores Milliways’ growing flavor lineup, nationwide retail expansion and the brand’s focus on delivering a chewing experience designed to match or exceed conventional gum without compromising on taste, texture or longevity.
