Tesco is launching a new cold-pressed juice line called Waste NOT, which will be made entirely from imperfect fruits and vegetables that would otherwise be discarded. This effort could save up to 3.5 tonnes of surplus fruits and vegetables in the first 12 weeks alone, according to the company.

Waste NOT will launch with four flavors—orange, carrot and apple; beetroot and apple; apple, watermelon, strawberry, cucumber and mint; and orange, apple, celery and spinach—and come in eco-friendly bottles made from 30 percent recycled plastic.
