    I think it's fantastic that Blends offers a discount to students who choose to bring a reusable mug. However, I still don't think 10p is big enough incentive to encourage the majority of students to stop purchasing a single use product. Most people are unaware that they are still not recyclable!! I'd love advertising about this too, in order to raise awareness as there are some people who do not know that this is a service that Blends offers.

9:09pm on 7 Oct 19 There definitely needs to be a bit more incentive/deterrent for using single use cups. Guidance on what kind of reusable cups can be refilled would be very helpful as well!
