www.zerowastescotland.org.uk This is known as a circular economy and it’s the right choice if we want to create a more equal and just society for all.

Rewiring the economy ⚡

We know the biggest cause of climate change is overconsumption – where society puts too much pressure on earth’s finite resources through our “take, make, waste” economic model. Zero Waste Scotland works with government, business, and communities to rewire the economy from our current model to one where we make the most of the materials we have. We’re Scotland’s circular economy public body. Since 2014, our work has helped more people understand that the answer to the climate emergency is to consume less.

This International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, we’re highlighting the true value of food, and why wasting less of it matters.

Our Science of Food Waste campaign, developed in partnership with Glasgow Science Centre, explores the connections between the food we waste and some of the biggest challenges facing our food system.

Reducing food waste can help improve food security and nutrition, ease pressure on natural resources, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and support a more productive and resilient economy.
