We are pleased to announce that Warwick Retail pledge to reduce single-use plastic as part of Green Week 2018, a student-led initiative committed to reducing the amount of single-use plastic in the University of Warwick. Our Warwick Retail Group have pledged to reduce single-use plastic, starting with teaming up with students to give away free reusable water bottles, and removing disposable cups from water dispensers.

“We are thrilled to announce this change, contributing to our continued efforts towards becoming a more sustainable campus.” Warwick Retail
