North Wales Assembly Member Mark Isherwood is helping to promote an initiative which aims to reduce the single use of plastic in Wrexham.
Water company Hafren Dyfrdwy has this week launched a new ‘Refill’ scheme in Wrexham, which will see people able to fill up reusable water bottles for free.
Mr Isherwood referred to the scheme when calling for a Welsh Government Statement on the reduction of single use plastic during yesterday’s Business Statement.
He said:
“I've been asked by water company Hafren Dyfrdwy Limited, Severn Dee, to join them in promoting their ‘Refill in Wrexham’ initiative, which is launching, I believe, today, working collaboratively with the Welsh Government and founding not-for-profit organisation City to Sea, where a ‘Refill’ national tap water campaign will encourage businesses, cafes, museums and restaurants to provide free refills, with businesses simply displaying a blue Refill sticker in their windows, and a supporting smartphone app showing the locations of all water Refill Stations.”
The Leader of the House, Julie James AM, replied: “I know the Minister is very pleased with her Refill policy, and no doubt will be bringing something back to the Chamber in the course of it to tell us how well it's doing.”
