About

The #OneLess pioneer network is a group of organisations that are leading London’s refill revolution.

Our members include corporates, councils and local authorities, academic institutions and schools, emerging innovators, landmark London events and venues, small and medium sized enterprises, community groups, and grass-roots campaigns – along with many others.

All the #OneLess pioneers are working to reduce or eliminate single-use plastic bottled water and encourage and enable ‘refilling’ instead.

Testimonials

“

It seems like a lonely battle sometimes, bringing a concept to market; this collection of people showed me that lots of people across the spectrum of public and private sectors are applying themselves to solving the problem of single use plastics. It was very motivating. Good job #OneLess.

It was my first opportunity to meet the wider #OneLess community. Therefore it was extremely useful to see the bridges that have already been built and realise the potential to connect much more than before.

Meeting other like minded people and the discussion that follows has been inspirational and hugely encouraging to realise that this objective might really be possible.

Joining the #OneLess Network was an obvious choice for King’s College London, as it mirrors our own vision to make the world a better place through our teaching and research. It’s exciting to work with #OneLess to develop concepts and help solve part of this systemic single-use plastic problem. Our challenge is to make it as easy as possible for our staff, students and visitors to find water refill points within our campuses, and to address negative perceptions around tap water such as taste, health and hygiene.
