Turning wonky fruit into cold-pressed juice

We love working with suppliers that make a difference and our latest drinks partner, Flawsome! Drinks, is doing just that - one wonky fruit at a time. 

Their mission? Combat food waste and promote sustainability by transforming wonky fruit into taste, cold-pressed drinks. 

So far, they have developed over 16 mouthwatering products, some that you can find in our canteens and cafés. 

Their drinks are made with 100% natural ingredients, no added sugar and come in fully recyclable packaging.

But how are they doing it? 

1. Being fairer to farmers

They pay their farmers a fair price for fruit, giving them what they deserve for delicious, surplus produce. 

2. Putting taste before looks

They understand that delicious fruit isn't dictated by its look and are proving this by winning 12 Great Taste Awards already! 

"To date, we've given a second chance to over 45M wonky and surplus pieces of fruit."

That is 2722 tonnes of fruit saved, which is the equivalent to 227 double decker buses! 

3. All about positive impact

Flawsome! Drinks is a proud B Corp brand, meeting the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability. 

But they don't stop there, they invest almost 2% of their sales in charities around the world, such as biodiversity conservation that helps the tropical rainforests, installing wind farms in Turkey and improving cook stoves for families in Peru. 

A little closer to home, they also worked with The Felix Project to deliver 30 million meals to hungry Londoners in need.
