description

Background & Context

5.We are committed to developing Scotland’s circular economy –Making Things Last, our circular economy strategy, sets out the opportunities to keep materials in use for as long as possible.
6.We want Scotland to move towards a circular economy where our resources are kept in high value for as long as possible and more of the re-processing of recyclable material is carried out in Scotland.
7.Through the proposed circular economy bill, the Scottish Government will continue to advance Scotland’s ambitions for the circular economy through measures which will encourage the re-use of products and reduce waste. It will enable further action to tackle our reliance on single-use items.
8.The circular economy bill is one part of a wider range of policies aimed at reducing waste in Scotland, and moving towards a more circular economy.
9.The Scottish Government will lead from the front, changing how we do things and how we can have a greener and more circular approach.
10.The proposals in the bill include: powers to introduce a charge for environmentally harmful items such as single-use disposable beverage cups; mandatory reporting of waste and unwanted surplus on items such as food and textiles/clothing; powers to set targets for consumption reduction; a strengthened approach to household recycling collection services; and, greater penalties on waste crime and littering from vehicles.
