Every day, in Hong Kong, a significant quantity of food that looks less than perfect is directly sent to waste, despite being perfectly delicious and nutritious. This type of food is known as “ugly food”, which is often thrown away simply because they look misshapen, off-sized, or a little bruised and damaged. In light of this situation, it is NOT ONLY POWDER’s mission to rescue these ugly foods, specifically fruits, from being wasted. But instead of producing more food to meet people’s demands, our plan is to better utilise the food we already have. 

NOT ONLY POWDER collaborates with local fruit stores to collect ugly fruits that were intended to be discarded. We then upcycle these fruits by slicing them into pieces, dehydrating them with freeze-drying technology, and blending them into powder form. Through this upcycling process, the products’ 2-week shelf life will be lengthened to 1 year. Our powdered products can be widely used in drinks, desserts, dishes, and pastries, to name a few. Furthermore, we also strive to leverage on technology to facilitate communication, foster collaboration, and improve business agility between our partners and us, which is why we will provide a channel for our partners to update their ugly fruits inventory.  We are proud to announce that, after making various iterations, we are now ready with our first collection! What about you?
