Bring your own cups to sanc and Starbucks.
Reduce the amount of plastic we use, eg in staff house offer a fill your own pot salad station.

Estates/Waste management are discussing options for promoting recycling on campus - biggest issues are with contamination of recycling bins. A Plastics-initiative cross working group was created in June 2018 to address these concerns and have so far made the Art's Café plastics free. In addition, Scoop at Jonny Mac has been opened at the Student Union and is entirely single use plastics free.

19/03/2018 - **UPDATE** 
Starbucks in the SU has got a 15p reduction in price for small hot drinks when using a reusable keep-cup in order to encourage more people to use re-useable cups. 
 
I will pass on your comments to university catering and ask if they have a strategy to reduce single-use plastic on campus 
 
Please keep an eye on this idea for a future update
