About 80% of Scotland’s carbon footprint comes from the products and services we manufacture, use and throw away. The best way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place.
The Circular Economy (Scotland) Act 2024 provides new powers to require suppliers of single-use items to charge a minimum amount for them. The policy aims to reduce consumption and therefore reduce environmental harm caused. The Scottish Government intends that an early use of such powers will be to introduce a minimum charge on single-use disposable beverage cups.
We publish events and consultations in our calendar which we hope will be of interest to our members and supporters. We strive to be accurate in these listings, so please contact us if you see an error or problem. The organisers of third-party events (coded blue) are mostly unconnected to us, and we have no control over these.
If you know of an event that you would like to see listed here, please let us know.
