Plastic Free July
Following the University's latest achievement of a 3-star rating in the Food Made Good Awards, we are proud to implement several initiatives to minimise plastics on campus. These include a 20p discount on all hot drinks when you use a reusable cup. We also sell One Plymouth reusable cups, with 25p from each sale going to the Ocean Conservation Trust.
In our cafes, we offer soft drinks in glass or cans, except for water, where sustainable alternatives are available. Additionally, all our takeaway food is packaged in plant-based, sustainable materials.
