Submission Documents: By Councillor Martha Wardrop:- "Council acknowledges that single-use plastic bottles are expensive to produce, use up valuable natural resources to make and transport and create mountains of waste. Council notes its commitment to tackle plastic pollution and recognises the need to help turn the harmful tide of plastic waste and litter from single-use plastic bottles, which is damaging the marine environment and blighting our streets. Council agrees to phase out the use of single use plastic bottles and cups in council buildings and promote the development of refill schemes which encourage the use of reusable bottles across Glasgow. Council resolves to increase the uptake of freely available drinking water by:- (a) increasing awareness about public rights to drinking water; (b) encouraging the hospitality industry to provide free drinking water to customers and non-customers; (c) working with transport providers to improve access to free drinking water; and (d) signing up to Refill, a free tap water initiative, which aims to make refilling of water bottles convenient and rewarding."
