Waste Prevention in
Scotland
The National Waste Plan 2003 set an aim of zero growth in municipal waste arisings by 2010. As a first step SEPA felt it important to learn from other parts of the world about what works (and what doesn’t), and through the National Resource and Waste Forum (NRWF) commissioned research into international good practice. This report is titled: 'Towards a UK Framework for Household Waste Prevention' and is available via the link below.
SEPA sought the views of interested parties on the consultation paper titled "Towards a Household Waste Prevention Strategy for Scotland" in November 2003.
SEPA and the Scottish Executive have drawn from this research and are currently preparing a Waste Prevention Action Plan for
Scotland
