In 2017/18 we sold 51,000 plastic bottles here. We have worked with the school to remove all bottled water from sale Monday to Friday and then have a completely plastic bottle free day each Friday. This includes all other drinks in plastic bottles. This will mean 15,000 less plastic bottles entering circulation from now until July. We will be promoting the use of reusable bottles and free drinking water to ensure the students and staff stay hydrated.
Thanks to the Education Marketing Manager, Saduf Salariya for producing some great posters to advertise the project at the site.
The project has been featured in the local newspaper, Eastern Daily Press and you can read the article below.
