ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥

Did you know that we use over 100,000 disposable coffee cups on ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ campuses each year? To take action against this issue, we have decided to implement a no disposable coffee cups week this week (Monday 17 – Friday 21 June) across Talbot and Lansdowne campuses. 

If you wish to purchase a hot drink this week, please remember to: 

• Bring your own re-useable cup
• Drink in our outlets using crockery
• Join the returnable cup scheme. 

Remember choosing a reusable cup means that you avoid the 30p cup tax that comes with purchasing a disposable cup. 

How does the returnable cup scheme work? 

• Join by purchasing a returnable cup for £3.95 from Chartwells or SUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ outlets across campus (excluding Dylans)
• Keep your cup for as long as you like or return it in exchange for a clean cup. When you hand over your cup for cleaning, you’ll be given a token
• Next time you want to purchase a drink, just hand over the token and you will be given a new returnable cup. 

This scheme aims to help us to avoid forgetting our reusable cups and avoid carrying around a dirty cup. 

If you have any questions about this week or the returnable cup scheme, email [email protected].
