WasteNott — the plastics challenge

Reducing plastic bottles

More than 1 million plastic bottles are thrown away each year at the University of Nottingham. Get involved and help make a difference. 

 

A number of public use fountains are available across our UK campuses — and we’ve ordered several further water fountains to be installed over the next few years.

Find a fountain.

Check out the video below to see our key achievements since 2018:

 

 

Why get involved?


We currently throw away a huge amount of single-use plastic across our UK campuses — including many plastic drinks bottles which are used once then thrown away.

You’ve told us you want to change that. In the survey:

  • A quarter of you asked for more water fountains as a top priority, to make it easier to refill bottles
  • 98% of you pledged to refill drinks bottles instead of using them once
