Rubies in the Rubble

Together, we have rescued over a million berries and more than 60,000 apples

Food waste is an important issue and as a leading procurement organisation we have a responsibility to do everything we can to reduce food waste in the UK.

That’s why we work with Rubies in the Rubble, an award-winning brand of chutneys made from fruit and veg that, due to size, shape or colour would be thrown away, reducing food waste.

So far, our partnership with the social enterprise has rescued over a million berries and more than 60,000 apples.

Alicia Lawson, Commercial Director at Rubies in the Rubble said: “We love working with Foodbuy. Not just because we've rescued a ton of apples (or to be more precise, nearly a million!) But also because of the amazing reaction we've had from customers. People love to see big businesses collaborating with small, to make such a positive environmental impact. It's a win-win situation for us both, and most importantly, for the planet too.”

Tackling a challenge like food waste is not an easy one, but we’re proud to be working with sustainable brands like Rubies in the Rubbles to alleviate the impact.
