About Zero Waste Scotland

We are a not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee and is predominately funded by the Scottish Government. Our recent formal classification as a Public Sector organisation brings new opportunities, which we will embrace through a robust and strategic transition. This, alongside the development of a new Corporate Plan, to be launched in 2024, means that Zero Waste Scotland is entering an exceptionally exciting period of change.

We are recognized as a leader in delivering specialist expertise and services across both the public and private sectors. With c.190 staff and a budget of over c. £37 million (which includes the Recycling Improvement Fund, administered on behalf of Scottish Government), we are working towards delivering four key strategic outcomes, as outlined in our Corporate Plan 2019 -23 which include:

  • Responsible consumption – ensuring demands for products and services respect the limits of natural resources;
  • Responsible production – where a circular economy is embraced;
  • Maximizing value from waste – where the environmental and economic value of wasted resources and energy is harnessed efficiently; and
  • Transforming Zero Waste Scotland – becoming the leading organization in driving radical change in behaviors towards products & resources.
