    How to price a supermarket refill station (with Cameron Cooper)
    2021/12/31
    In this episode, we're doing something new. One of our listeners, Cameron Cooper of Coopers Refillery, an entrepreneur in the zero waste space, has submitted a very interesting business development question. We set out to answer the question; how to adequately price a supermarket refill station. Due to the limited competition, as of now, this is a bit tricky. Together with the experts on zero waste, circular economy and business development: Fanny Näslund of Vågen Zero Waste Stores, Verena Kassar of Das Gramm Zero Waste Stores and Maira Babri of Örebro University, Evelina and Malin share some key perspectives and actions to help out. Would you like to submit a zero waste question to the show - business or otherwise? Shoot us a DM over at Love Zero Waste on Instagram, or email us at hello@lovezerowaste.biz. You can submit your question in writing - or even better through a voice recording. With a bit of luck, we might answer your burning question on the show. Special thanks to Cameron Cooper for being patient with us, as we were experimenting to find the right show format, to our experts Fanny Näslund, Verena Kassar and Maira Babri and to Magdalena Dirr for lending us your voice.

    2021/09/30
    Aaron Feigelman is a former UCLA student and Tesla employee who recently founded his own materials science company developing functional materials from food waste - starting with coffee waste. His company is called The Kawa Project. Listen to the interview and learn more about “Innovating new coffee materials”: the average American contributes to 35 pounds (16 kg) of coffee waste per year, big corporations are looking to play a role in fixing the waste issue and the hardest parts about figuring out new uses for food waste - economics and branding.

  • Three things I've learned: Designing a zero waste kitchen (with Ivana Steiner)

    Three things I've learned: Designing a zero waste kitchen (with Ivana Steiner)
    2021/08/23
    Ivana Steiner is a designer specialised in luxury hospitality, and she's recently developed a great interest in zero waste. A few weeks ago, she presented her first zero waste product: a beautiful, stainless steel kitchen, including compost and a herbal garden. The kitchen has already been featured by several international media outlets, including Treehugger, DesignBoom and DWELL. In our conversation with Ivana, learn more about transforming customer research into beautiful and functional design, working with an expert focus group, and approaching minimalism, climate change, and slowing down - all through a zero waste kitchen. This Instagram Live is the first interview in a series we call "Three things I've learned", where we talk to experts in the zero waste space about their most important learnings. Ivana reached out to us during the spring as she was looking for feedback on the kitchen concept. We helped her put together a small focus group with experts on zero waste, grocery shopping, cooking and minimalism. A big shoutout to Andrea Lunzer, Eva-Bettina Gruber and Sarah Schalk for contributing to this process. All of which have also been guests on the Love Zero Waste podcast!

  • Cities and regions approaching zero waste (with Andrew Marr & Joâo Bernardo Casali)

    Cities and regions approaching zero waste (with Andrew Marr & Joâo Bernardo Casali)
    2021/01/11
    More and more cities and regions across the planet choose to go for zero waste. In this episode, you'll learn more about the challenges and solutions of two of those places: Vancouver, Canada and the Noronha, Brazil. Guests are Andrew Marr of Metro Vancouver and Joâo Bernardo Casali (@jbcasali) of Ionica (@ionicalab). Andrew Marr, Metro Vancouver gives us a better picture of the types of challenges that generally pop-up on a city's zero waste journey. Joâo Bernardo Casali of the B-corp Ionica shares the journey of Noronha, the first Brazilian territory to ban all single-use plastic items - at once. Learn more about critical actions as cities and regions turn to zero waste: the importance of public-private partnerships (and a textbook example of a successful one!); of gathering key stakeholders under one vision; moving beyond the traditional EPR (extended producer responsibility) and pushing for more far-reaching bans and legislations; as well as the challenges of reaching beyond the low-hanging fruits of waste-diversion and much more. ======== CALL TO ACTION! - Read this publication "The Zero Waste Masterplan - A Guide to Building Just and Resilient Zero Waste Cities" by GAIA US and Canada. https://www.paperturn-view.com/us/gaia/gaia-zero-waste-masterplan?pid=MTE115576 - Listen to our Zero Waste Trends in Europe podcast episode.

    Standup paddle board scientists fighting micro plastics (with Christian Shaw)
    2020/12/04
    We've been talking a lot about ocean plastic pollution and microplastics on show. This is such a fundamentally important topic to understand on the path towards a zero waste future! We'll continue to investigate this topic in this episode, but from a slightly different perspective. In this episode, we're talking to Christian Shaw, co-founder and executive director of the US-based NGO, Plastic Tides. This episode is all about activism, awareness building and science, all in the shape and form of expeditions, with the goal of mapping out the prevalence of microplastics across the planet. Moreover, this episode is about pivoting, changing your ideas and plans when the situation demands it. Time to dive in!
