Unbottled: A Startup Podcast by Kadeya
Building the Future of Beverage — one sip, one story at a time.
Hosted by Manuela Zoninsein, founder & CEO of Kadeya, Unbottled takes you behind the scenes of building the world’s first closed-loop beverage system—a reusable, refillable, zero-waste alternative to single-use bottles.
In this limited first season, you’ll hear raw, unfiltered conversations with the people rethinking everything we know about water, plastic, and sustainability:
• Founders rewriting the rules of reuse
• Experts exposing myths about recycling and microplastics
• Investors betting on climate hardware
• Workers and operators fueling change from the ground up
From fighting plastic pollution to re-engineering the beverage supply chain, each episode dives into the problems, people, and possibilities behind the bottle.
Because the future of beverage isn’t bottled —
It’s built.
New episodes every Monday.
