2nd October 2013 - The Scottish Government unveiled a major new resource efficiency plan today, which it believes could create 12,000 green jobs and save the economy £2.9 billion.
The plan, 'Safeguarding Scotland’s Resources’, sets out a programme of actions to reduce waste and reuse resources in Scotland, including moving to a 'circular economy’ and helping businesses make savings in energy, water and materials. It aims to drive down the use of raw materials in Scotland and cut all waste by seven per cent by 2017 and 15 per cent by 2025. Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead said the action plan formed the "next steps" towards Scotland becoming a 'zero waste' nation. And he added that businesses in Scotland that got behind the programme could tap into almost £1.5 billion of savings and improve their competitiveness. read more>>>
