About us

Keeping things clean, together!

Work to live or live to work? "Wrong question!" many at sodasan would reply. We are working together to accomplish our mission. Our eco-friendly operations here in Uplengen have a 50-strong workforce. All of us strongly care about the well-being of our planet. Where some may think "this mountain is too high to climb", our team members see a mountain of opportunities. Opportunities to defy climate change and pollution. And subsequently, a chance to really make a difference.
