Dash Water

UK-based Dash Water produces upcycled sparkling water drinks made from fruits and vegetables that would otherwise go to waste. The company sources its fruits and vegetables by partnering with Feedback, a food waste charity organization that helps Dash Water find farmers with excess supply of “wonky” produce. As of October 2024, the company reported that it had saved over 574,000 kg of fruits and aims to sell 150 million cans by 2025, saving 2,500 tons of fruit and vegetables. 

Dash Water drinks can be purchased from retail stores and online via the company’s website.  Consumers also have the option to subscribe to Dash Water to receive drinks on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis, at around a 15% discount. 

As of October 2024, the company’s products were available at over 7,000 listed retail stores across Europe. Dash  Water entered the US market in June 2020 by partnering with Irish Nova (a text-to-order beverage platform) selling the product to over 80 stores across New York. As of October 2024, the company exports its product to 20 markets including Belgium, Holland, France, Norway, and Singapore. In September 2021, the company reported plans to strengthen its presence across the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) region. 

Dash Water also launched production in Australia in September 2021  to use the Australian spring water for its drinks and produce its recyclable cans in Victoria. The company planned to list its products at 700 Woolworths stores (the biggest supermarket and grocery store chain in Australia) and 800 independent retail stores across Australia and targeted a sale of 1.5 million cans in Australia upon the completion of its first full-year transaction in 2021.
