Our new Resource Efficient Scotland programme was launched on 18 April. Managed by Zero Waste Scotland, it provides free, specialist advice and on-site support to help decision makers in business, public and third-sector organisations cut their energy, water and raw material costs.
The Landfill Tax (Scotland) Bill, which will see Scotland take responsibility from the UK Government for administering landfill tax, went before Parliament on 17 April. If passed, the Bill will help tackle the problem of unauthorised dumping activity, which is a measure unique to Scotland, and encourage the proper disposal and recycling of materials.
