Sustainability at Reading

INITIATIVES

We have introduced a 20p tax on disposable coffee cups and launched a range of resusable mugs that can be purchased at our catering location

We have introduced Coca Cola Freestyle machines that allows students and other customers to use their refillable bottle

We have removed all plastic straws from our operations

All bars, cafes, and food outlets on our Reading campuses are now cashless, which helps reduce the mileage involved in handling cash around campus

Reusable mugs are on sale across all catering venues.

Not only are you helping to reduce your impact on the environment but you will also avoid our 20p tax introduced on disposable hot drinks.

The profit from this charge is ring-fenced and used to fund sustainable initiatives within catering services.

Sustain It reusable bottles are on sale at our catering venues.

These can be used with our FreeStyle coca-cola machines, helping to reduce the amount of plastic sold on campus.

We have identified water points on Whiteknights and London Road campuses where you can fill up your bottle for free.
