Sustainability has always been our bread and butter. In 2013, we quit our corporate jobs to create SNACT, a sustainable snack brand that has saved over 250 tonnes (and counting) of food from going to waste, got national distribution, won awards such as the Global Good Awards ‘ Best Eco Product and got international media recognition. Whilst we love doing our own thing, we’ve always been excited to collaborate with others: the more people we help, the greater the impact.
