Jack Scott, DASH Water: using “wonky fruit” to tackle food waste in farming
Jack Scott, is the Co-Founder of Dash Water.
Dash Water is tackling the problem of food waste within farming, where surplus or “wonky” produce is often overlooked. Dash only use “wonky” fruit and veg to create their premium brand of soft drinks.
What I like about Dash Water, is that they are part of the modern consumer brand movement. Where they focus on being a responsible and sustainable business, whilst building a unique and memorable brand that their customers love.
I chat to Jack about the problem of food waste in farming, building a strong brand identity, carving out a space for a premium drinks brand in a crowded market, their recent “wonky fruit” PR campaign, and becoming a B Corp.
