In the UK, the issue of waste is a huge one. The UK alone produces 5 million tonnes of waste every year, almost half of which (2.4 million tonnes) is disposable packaging.
Water bottles contribute an enormous amount to this issue. We're all guilty of buying them, drinking them, throwing them away and then going and buying another. The aim of The Big Rubbish Project is to to increase the amount Exeter students recycle, reduce plastic and food waste on campus as well as raising awareness about environmental issues.
