Did you know...?
All of our disposables are recycled and compostable – our 'plastic' disposables are actually made from vegetable starch!
We stopped selling single-use plastic bottles in 2016
ZSL's #OneLess campaign
As part of ZSL's #OneLess campaign, we stopped selling single-use plastic water bottles at Whipsnade Zoo, instead swapping them for a sustainable alternative in a can. Visitors can also refill their water bottles in our catering outlets across the Zoo.
