How to price a supermarket refill station (with Cameron Cooper)
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.

Mecca McDonald and Mia Dunn, scientists and creatives, and co-founders of MoNa Gems have developed a type of bioplastic, used to create trendy shapes looking like synthetic plastic, but which is 100% biodegradable. For real, no industrial compost need! This innovation might help reduce the use of conventional plastics in the fashion industry.
Learn more about the innovation process, and Mecca and Mia's learnings developing MoNa Gems: the importance of failure, not getting discouraged by haters and pursuing your passions.

Three things I've learned: Innovating new coffee materials (with Aaron Feigelman)
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.
This recorded Instagram live is part of a series of interviews we're doing, called: "Three things I've learned", where we talk to experts in the zero waste space about their most important learnings.

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