Smarter dispensing. Less waste. Better business.
For more than 20 years, Martek Zero Waste has helped organisations reduce packaging, minimise food waste and create better self-service experiences.
From independent start-ups to national retailers, we provide proven dispensing systems for food, cereals, snacks, confectionery, pet food and other pourable or scoopable products.
With more than 1,000 installations across the UK, we understand what makes refill and self-service dispensing work—not only in principle, but in busy, real-world environments.
Refill. Reuse. Rethink.
Our mission is simple: to provide practical dispensing solutions that help eliminate unnecessary single-use packaging and reduce product waste.
Our systems allow people to take or purchase precisely what they need. For businesses, that means better portion control, lower packaging requirements, attractive product presentation and opportunities to reduce costs or increase margins.
We support organisations across:
- Retail and zero-waste shopping
- Hotels and accommodation
- Offices and workplaces
- Universities and education
- Care homes and healthcare
- Pubs, bars and hospitality
- Cinemas, leisure and events
- Pet shops and garden centres
- Prisons and institutional catering
Whatever the setting, we help our customers find a solution that works for their products, space, operations and budget.
Over two decades of experience.
Our journey began in 1999, when Martek helped develop a more effective and hygienic approach to pick and mix confectionery in cinemas and leisure venues across Europe.
This led to major supermarket installations and, by 2005, our focus had expanded beyond confectionery. Drawing on developments in the North American grocery sector, we began creating dispensing solutions for a much broader range of pourable, scoopable and free-flowing products.
Today, that experience covers everything from breakfast cereals, dried food and snacks to sweets, nuts, coffee, pet food and treats.
We know what works, where it works and why.
Solutions for every product and space.
Our core ranges include:
- Cereal dispensers and breakfast stations
- Gravity food dispensers
- Scoop bins and food containers
- Pick and mix sweet stands
- Snack stations
- Retail refill displays
- Pet food and treat dispensers
- Bespoke fixtures and branded installations
Whether you need one dispenser, a compact starter display or a national multi-site roll-out, you will receive the same expert advice and friendly support.
There is no minimum order quantity, and leasing options may be available through our finance partner.

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our team takes the time to understand what you want to sell, who will use the system and how it needs to perform.
Sustainability built into what we do.
Reducing waste is not an added extra—it is the reason Martek Zero Waste exists.
Our refill and dispensing systems help businesses move away from disposable packaging while enabling customers and users to take only the amount they need. This tackles two closely connected problems: single-use plastic and food waste.
The fixtures we manufacture use sustainably sourced FSC® and/or PEFC-certified timber at our UK production facility. Our gravity and scoop bins are made from durable materials designed for a long working life and are recyclable at the end of their use, subject to local recycling facilities.
The Martek Group has also achieved Carbon Smart Gold accreditation, recognising practical action taken to measure and reduce our environmental impact.
Supporting wider change.
Alongside our products and day-to-day environmental commitments, we support initiatives working to protect and restore the natural world.
Tree Planting
Through Ecologi, we fund the planting of a tree for every sale, regardless of size. These projects support reforestation, habitat restoration and communities around the world.
The Great Green Wall
The Great Green Wall is an African-led movement restoring land across the Sahel. The initiative tackles desertification and climate change while supporting biodiversity, food security and local livelihoods.
The Ocean Cleanup
We support The Ocean Cleanup and its mission to develop technologies that remove plastic from oceans and prevent more waste from reaching them through rivers.
Experience you can build on.
We are proud to work alongside major retailers, independent businesses, hospitality operators, institutions and zero-waste pioneers committed to making meaningful change.
Whether your priority is sustainability, portion control, customer experience, operational efficiency or profitability, Martek brings the products, knowledge and practical support to help you succeed.
Let’s create a smarter way to store, present and dispense your products.
