Angus Simms and Katie Jackson founded Wonky Box in 2021 with a mission to reduce food waste in Aotearoa.
So far, they've done this through working with local growers to rescue fruit and veggies that would be normally be rejected by larger retailers, and end up in landfill.
Think a carrot that's a bit crooked, or an apple that's a bit nobbly. Produce that doesn't look perfect, but still tastes fine.
Well, now they're expanding into the pantry, teaming up with local small businesses to keep pantry items out of landfill, a win-win for businesses and consumers.
With household-living-costs increasing, is this a path forward for mitigating the weekly grocery bill?
Angus Simms co-founder of Wonky Box explains.
