Plain filtered water is of course fine. But this drink is more to replace fizzy sodas, many people prefer fizzy or flavoured waters. This is made from natural spring water and wonky fruit that would otherwise have gone to landfills. Packed in zero waste cans that are easy to recycle.

Always pop ring-pulls back over holes (and pinch tops shut) before recycling cans, to stop wildlife getting trapped.

Never give pets fizzy water (risk of bloat) nor flavoured waters (citrus is toxic).

This brand offers refreshing fruity sparkling water, in this case using discarded apples (England’s favourite brands) that have for whatever reason been rejected by industry for sale. You can use them as a clean swap for sugary fizzy drinks, or even use them in homemade mocktails (no-alcohol cocktails).

Why is DASH Water zero waste?

40% of all food in England goes to waste. This brand is helping to use it up. Which not only stops fruits going to landfill, but also helps our farmers. As Wonky HQ buys up the fruit, so the farmers get some income from fruit that is rejected by supermarkets and big industry.

On top of that, food waste on landfills release greenhouse gases, which contributes to climate change. So by supporting this brand, you can be a real gamechanger in reducing food waste, helping farmers and saving the planet. All while drinking tasty fruity fizzy water!

Project Drawdown says that ‘fighting food waste is one of the most effective ways to fight global warming’. Yet worldwide, over 1 billion tonnes of food is wasted each year. When there is enough food thrown away to feed ever single hungry person on earth. 

In the UK alone, over 9.5 million tonnes of food is thrown away each year (with around 40% of fresh fruits and vegetables going in bins). And unlike in France, food waste in supermarkets is not illegal – over there, they get fined if they don’t recycle it on).

The company is also part of Feedback’s gleaning network (volunteering to collect surplus produce from farmers’ fields after commercial harvests, to save fruit and veg from going to landfill).

The cans are also sent in cardboard boxes (not plastic packaging).

Who founded DASH sparkling waters?

DASH was founded by two friends, who both grew up on farms. They saw firsthand how ‘wonky fruit’ was often discarded, so decided to do something about it. They also wanted to help farmers, who often see their income plummet, if big supermarkets decide their fruits are too wonky, or the wrong size, shape or colour.

England’s big supermarkets now control around 85% of the food market, which leaves farmers often at their mercy. So DASH do things differently – purchasing farmers’ fruits before the harvest, so they know they have income coming in, even if the harvest is ‘not perfect’.
