Hi Bridie,
After chatting with the relevant staff within the Union, we are struggling to find space, both for storage and shop display, for this initative within the SUSU Shop. However, staff are going to be looking into this further over the summer, when there is time to look at the supply chain solutions which may impact on this project more favourably.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Sam Higman - Vice President Welfare

Hi Bridie, thanks for your idea. Bulk bins are amazing to help cut down on the consumption of unnecessary and single-use plastic. Sheffield Union have recently implemeneted a similar scheme in their Shop - https://twitter.com/SheffieldSU/status/956847600027754503
As this idea submission has now reached over 25 positive votes, which means we as a Union are mandated to look into it. I will post another update here once we know more, but I will also post on my Facebook, so make sure to follow that: https://www.facebook.com/susuvpwelfare
If you have any other questions, feel free to email me at vpwelfare@susu.org
Kind regards,
Sam Higman - Vice President Welfare
