Getting on top of the materials and ingredients you buy, use and throw away can help you cut costs, tap into new revenue opportunities, and get ready for upcoming waste regulations. The high streets beyond waste, launched by ReLondon and funded by the UK Government, support aims to help you do just that, with tailored advice from a business advisor and the opportunity to apply for a grant.

If you run a high street food and drink business, you can book a dedicated one-to-one session with a business advisor to explore how ‘beyond waste’ ideas could benefit your business and the environment. In a 1 hour chat you’ll review the materials, ingredients and products your business uses. Our advisor will then take what they learn to create a tailored action plan to help you save money, boost revenue or strengthen customer relationships.

After completing the session you’ll be invited to apply for a grant of up to £5,000 to help bring your chosen action to life with ongoing help from an advisor. This support is fully funded, and provided at no cost to you.
