Pugh’s have launched a campaign to become plastics-free in their Wenvoe and Radyr garden centres.

 “With the garden centre being at the heart of our business, we want to become as transparently sustainable as we can and help tackle the war on waste,” says an article on their website. “We have created a long-term campaign…. and have already made a start where we can in some areas.”

“In our new restaurant in Wenvoe and our coffee shops in Radyr we have teamed up with Vegware and are using their 100% compostable coffee cups, containers and straws which are made from plant materials.

They are giving away a packet of sunflower seeds with any compostable cup purchased, encouraging customers to using the cup as a compostable container!

They plan to composting cups themselves at their production nurseries. 

In the new Food Hall at Radyr, efforts have been made to reduce plastic usage by offering loose fruit and veg and lentils and reusable containers for our oil and vinegar taps. They are also looking into introducing reusable 'bags for life'.

On a wider scale, they plan to work with suppliers to minimise plastic on site where possible.
