One year on, see how a local juice company saves imperfect fruit and veg from being thrown away<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Juice brand, Get Wonky, has rescued 281 tons of fruit and veg by using imperfect produce in their juices.<\/span><\/p>\n

The award-winning company from Cardiff announced the milestone earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

One year on, the eco-conscious brand has more than doubled their impact of rescuing 85 tons of surplus food in November 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

The duo behind Get Wonky, Karina Sudenyte and Maciek Kaprzyck, are still on their mission to save 3000 tons of misshapen produce in the next two years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Over the next five years, we are planning to donate one million bottles to charities that help families all around the UK<\/span>\u201d said Karina, co-founder of Get Wonky, \u201c<\/span>to reach our goals, we must spread the message about food waste to as many people as possible.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Get Wonky\u2019s waste-not-want-not message comes at a crisis point for the UK – one third of food in the UK is wasted or lost, which equates to 1.3 billion tons of waste, according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karina and Maciek tackle food waste at the beginning of the chain by working with farmers who aren\u2019t able to sell their wonky produce elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each bottle of juice saves at least two pieces of surplus apples and is made of recycled glass.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

The company is planning to expand beyond the UK to tackle our global problem with waste, Karina said, \u201cW<\/span>e will launch new branding in a few weeks time which means we will be ready to supply around Europe.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

More locally, Get Wonky supplies cafes such as Kemi\u2019s<\/a> and Little Man Coffee<\/a> with their juices in an effort to help Cardiff\u2019s hospitality scene become more sustainable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>We really love GetWonky Juices and their ethos and determination to reduce food waste\u201d<\/span>\u00a0said Patrick Nevins, director of Kemi\u2019s in Pontcanna.<\/span><\/p>\n

Awareness around food waste is growing among\u00a0business owners and consumers, which has seen a boom for the entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
