Preston Montford's Plastic Progress


On the day that UK businesses pledged to eliminate single use plastic packaging by 2025, Preston Montford is pleased to report our progress on reducing our plastic footprint.

We have:
1.      Stopped selling plastic bottled drink in our shop. We now sell reuseable water bottles that visitors can refill with cold drinks from our kitchens.

2.      Changed our breakfast yoghurts from single portion pots to large pots that we serve in bowls.

3.      Replacing our milk sachets in bedrooms to a jug that can be refilled from the kitchens.
4.      Packed lunches are now wrapped in paper bags, and visitors are encouraged to bring their own reuseable packed lunch box.




5.      Fieldwork resources are no longer laminated, instead we use reuseable plastic wallets.

6.      Developing a community garden and beds to grow some of our food, reducing packaging.
