Wolverhampton Grand Theatre pledges to be plastic free
Wolverhampton Grand Theatre has announced plans to drastically reduce the amount of plastic used within the company.
The Lichfield Street theatre aims to be plastic free by 2022, and other environmentally friendly strategies will also be rolled out over the next five years.
CEO and artistic director Adrian Jackson said, “As a company we will do everything we can to reduce non-recyclable products used within the building.
"There is also a lot we can do within our infrastructure to not only help the environment but also reduce our costs.”
The Front of House areas uses cardboard straws and cups for hot drinks and all glass products are recycled. The administration teams use recycle bins for all cardboard and paper waste.
Other departments are now looking at ways to improve which will be taken to the senior team for approval.
A study is also being conducted to see how the lighting structure can be changed which may result in the theatre investing in new equipment but would save money over a longer period on costs.
