Scotland's first Zero Waste Plan was published today. The plan sets out key actions, including new targets, to tackle the near 20 milion tonnes of waste produced by Scotland every year.
It aims to drive change and inspire households, businesses, community groups, local authorities and the wider public sector to change the way they view and deal with waste. It contains a broader approach to tackle all waste, not just waste collected by councils. The plan proposes a new way of looking at the materials Scotland produces - recognising everything designed, produced and used is a resource which has a value.
