600 TONNES OF FOOD RESCUED SO FAR
Join the mission! ✨
Our rescue warriors have helped us save over 600 tonnes of food from going to waste since Earth & Wheat started, but we're aiming higher this year 🚀
Help us get to our goal of rescuing 1,000 tonnes 🌍🌾
OUR PACKAGING
We strive to provide your rescued baked goods in the most sustainable way possible which is why our boxes and tape are fully recycled. Recent research has found that compositable bags limit shelf life meaning less time for you to enjoy your breads at home before freezing. We have therefore moved away from this in the spirit of tasting more and wasting less. The clear plastic bags and the sealed packaging can be recycled at your local supermarket.
