WasteNott — the plastics challenge

A campaign to reduce single-use plastics across our UK campuses.
The University of Nottingham.
 

 

Our goal is to reduce single-use plastic waste across our campuses. 

Millions of drinks bottles, coffee cups and other items are used once then thrown away every year at the University of Nottingham. 

By raising awareness and providing easy-access alternatives, we think we can make a big difference.

The survey

In May 2018, more than 3,000 people told us their thoughts on plastic waste.
