The Scottish Government is committed to moving from a linear “take, make and dispose” economic model to a circular economy where materials and goods are valued and kept in use for as long as possible.
This draft circular economy strategy sets out the rationale and benefits of a more circular economy within the wider economic framework and describes our overall vision to 2045 and the outcomes that we are working towards.
This consultation invites views on the suggested priorities outlined to transition to a more circular economy which will drive sustainable growth, increase supply-chain resilience, create jobs and encourage innovation while tackling the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. It is aimed at everyone who has a role to play: the people and communities of Scotland, businesses, the third sector and the public sector.
