We offer a variety of workshops and bespoke consultancy options for those looking to open their own zero waste shop, or expand their existing shop to incorporate a zero waste dispensing element.
Workshops
Online ‘Zoom’ Zero Waste Shop Set up Workshop for Beginners – suitable for applicants that have started serious research at the start of their journey – it can also be useful for existing businesses that need help with branding and adding a zero waste dispensing element to their business.
2 x 4hrs sessions over two days – 5pm to 9pm (UK time) 9h and 10th November 2021
Price: £160 +VAT for up to two participants per company (multiple screens allowed)
This workshop is designed as a comprehensive overview of how to set up a zero waste shop from start to finish. As we will be in small groups, there will be plenty of chances to ask individual questions specific to your business. You will be asked to fill out details in your application regarding what you are looking to learn on the course prior to the workshop dates. We will try to cover as much as we can from everyone’s request in the time that we have with you.
As we receive a high number of consultancy requests, we are asking for a short application from serious applicants to be filled out so that we can select the companies that are on the most similar stage on their journey to ensure the workshop is as relevant to you as possible.
Please note, we do not accept any companies on to our courses that have an existing zero waste shop nearby to their proposed premises/existing premises (the exact distance depends on the density of the location). Unfortunately, zero waste shopping is not yet ‘mainstream’ and we would like to protect existing zero waste shop owners and it will be better for the new business too.

Herbs and Spices Shelving
Fruit and vegetable display
This unit is built from reclaimed timber and pallet wood and vintage apple crates (actual vintage, not vintage look!) to house fruits and vegetables.
The example in the photo has two angled levels with 6 crates and 4 drawers at the bottom for bulkier veg like potatoes and squash. Each of the crates can easily house two different products – allowing for 20 in total.
Another design can also be created with three angled levels with 9 crates, allowing for 18 different products in total.
Priced from £475 for either design.
Dispenser walls
Whether you want a 1m bay of dispensers or a full wall 10m wide (or more), we can create a unique and floating dispenser wall that will be the main iconic feature of your shop.
We can clad the wall behind to your budget and design specifications – either by using reclaimed floorboards for that rustic look or beech planks for that clean scandi look. You can even opt for pallet wood if that’s what you want.
Our dispenser walls are completely customisable to allow you to fit more products in later down the line when you’re ready. There are no shelves so you can move rows up or down, and slide dispensers along the row to rearrange.
We will also clad the sides so that all of the inner workings are completely hidden from customers – giving that floating look.
Price based on quote, however a 1m wide single bay starts from £2,200 (ex. VAT). Includes 6 tall dispensers, 6 short dispensers and 5 scoop dispensers, all fixtures, and cladding. Prices also include fitting but are subject to timber and cladding costs.
Contact us for a quote.
Shelving options
Tailor made wall mounted shelving for your non-dispenser products. This image shows our oils and vinegars section, but you may want and area for cleaning products, toiletries or bottles and jars. Whatever you need we can tailor it to your specifications, or if you need us to design we can do that too.
Prices van vary and will be based on quotes.
