Circular Business Model

Scotland currently has a very linear economy, with materials flowing in one direction from extraction to manufacturing to use and ultimately disposal. For your business, becoming more circular and creating more sustainable supply chains can be the key to growth and success. 

Zero Waste Scotland offers resources to help your business discover the biggest causes of its carbon footprint and help to find solutions to tackle the causes and effects of climate change. 

By reducing waste and maximising the value of our resources, we can create a business network that is part of the climate solution.
