Scotland’s journey towards a circular economy
In May, the Scottish Government launched two consultations - the Circular Economy Bill and Delivering Scotland’s Circular Economy: A Route Map to 2025 and Beyond. The 12-week consultations run until 22 August 2022 and are a pivotal moment for Scotland’s sustainable future.
Why this matters
The forthcoming Circular Economy Bill will give Scotland the powers and solutions to help us to consume differently, use resources efficiently and, crucially, boost our economy. But why is this important?
Have your say
The Circular Economy Bill and Route Map consultations, which close on 22 August 2022, are an opportunity for people in Scotland to have their say on how we embrace a circular economy.
