The Scottish Government has launches a consultation on proposals to increase reuse and recycling and cut waste.
The proposals in the draft Circular Economy and Waste Route Map consultation include reducing single-use, disposable items like cups, banning the destruction of unsold goods and promoting the reuse of construction materials.
The total amount of waste going to landfill in Scotland has dropped by over a third over the last ten years. Recent official statistics also show that Scotland has already met its 2025 target to reduce all waste by 15%.
There was an initial consultation in 2022 and the new route map sets out a plan for new, national reuse and recycling targets along with priority actions needed between now and the end of the decade.
Circular economy minister Lorna Slater said: “We have already made good progress across Scotland, significantly reducing the amount of waste we generate and landfill, but we need to go further if reusing and recycling goods is to become the default choice for households, businesses and the public sector.
“For people to do the right thing for the planet, it is crucial that everyone experiences a modern, easy to use waste service. This second consultation sets out our priority actions and the tools we will put in place to help everyone play their part in cutting waste and capitalising on the economic opportunities that a circular economy presents to businesses. I urge everyone to take part.”
