Past Projects - Wooden Medals, Wooden Trophies and more

As All of us here at Zero Waste Medals love Halloween (next to Christmas, it is our favourite holiday), we have really enjoyed working on All Hallows' Eve themed wooden sports medals this year. We thought we would show you our favourite one!

We can't possibly let this wooden medal go by without its own special blog feature about how it came to be.

But first let's marvel at its beauty for a moment. 

Now that's out of the way lets talk a little bit about how the medal came to be in the first place.

To do that, you first need to know about the initial inception of the event created in aid of Twilight with a Twists 15th anniversary.

Originally the event took place on Exmouth Seafront which attracts hundreds of awesome women and men.

This event had to rearranged into a virtual event but thankfully we were able to capture some of the original event in the medal.

I think after the above you're able to piece it together why the elements of the medal are what they are.

Right at the heart of Zero Waste Medals is an ethos to help the world be a better place.

Firstly this sits in our sustainability efforts driving the industry to be more conscious of its environmental impact by using more sustainable sources when it comes to race day.

However along side this sustainability goal for wooden medals is a deep desire to help those in need from a more personal angle.

At Zero Waste Medals, Charities currently are entitled to 50% off their whole medal order.

Affordability is a big thing when it comes to charities as the money they are making often needs to go to the cause instead, so we ensure to the best of our ability that charities efforts are supported when buying from us. 

Secondly we love to shout out about the events and efforts of the charities themselves.

We're really proud of what we do here at Zero Waste Medals making our fabulous wooden sustainable medals and would love to share the story with you. So give it a little read.

This was our very first 5mm medal.

Since then we've branched right out to slate, bamboo etc. You name it we cut and etch it. But right at the beginning 5mm was a breakthrough for us.

So why not a race? Of course there's loads of great races that happen in Telford and one that we'd especially like to mention is the Oakengates 5k! 

Not just a great event (we know personally from the whole team running it) but a pleasure because we where honoured with the opportunity to create their very first wooden medal.
