Rescuing surplus fruit & vegetables directly from farms
Oddbox is the UK’s first fruit and vegetable box that fights food waste. They rescue odd and surplus fruits and vegetables straight from farms, delivering them to their customers' doorstep. Alongside their 70,000-strong community, Oddbox helps make a difference to the planet each week - fighting food waste at the farm-level, preventing CO2 emissions and saving water along the way. They first launched in 2016, with two founders, Emilie & Deepak, packing produce in a small area in South-West London. Since then, Oddbox has grown across the UK with big plans to scale across the continent. With the goal of enabling more people to live sustainably and actively fight food waste, Oddbox seeks to catalyze change by changing the mindsets of the consumers. Oddbox is a Certified B Corporation and will continue to work towards making a difference for the planet with each and every box.
