WasteNott — the plastics challenge

WasteNott funding

We want to support students and colleagues to reduce and replace single-use plastic and disposable items across the University.

Supported by the proceeds of the latte levy first implemented across University managed cafes in September 2018, we are offering funding for items or infrastructure in your office, department or student society to phase out single-use plastics and disposables.

Your application might be for reusable glasses to replace disposable plastic cups next to water fountains, purchase of china mugs for staff and vistors to reduce the need for single-use coffee cups. or another idea to tackle single-use plastics.
