TOPIC: RECYCLING (27)
Snact
http://www.snact.co.ukWe make fruit snacts from fruit surplus to act on food waste.
Tonnes of perfectly good fruit get thrown away in the UK before reaching shops. We turn that surplus into healthy snacts that contribute to one of your five a day. But a better food system is also about the people involved in it, so as we grow, we plan to employ people who’ve been affected by food poverty to help us make and sell our snacts.

We have been growing Oyster mushrooms from waste coffee grounds since 2011, and are still hugely inspired by the scale of the opportunity. We also know that we want to spread the idea further, so we have created the GroCycle Urban Mushroom Farm to test our ideas, and have designed an easy to use Mushroom Grow Kit to enable you to grow your own gourmet mushrooms at home from waste coffee grounds. We hope you enjoy the process!
