Join Reuse Charities in calling for a strong and ambitious Circular Economy Bill
Circular Communities Scotland are taking this week to focus on their ambition to see a strong Circular Economy Bill introduced in Scotland. Since their conception, Circular Communities Scotland have championed the importance of reuse, and this week they are celebrating four of their members, and asking them which circular polices would benefit the third sector and their communities.
Why is the bill important?
A bold Circular Economy Bill is the first step in establishing a more sustainable future for Scotland, and paves the way for more climate legislation.
It’s important that reuse charities and social enterprises across Scotland are at the forefront of shaping the bill, as they are the experts; the ones on the ground experienced in reusing items, saving waste from landfill, creating positive outcomes & utilising reuse to address other social issues such as poverty.
The Circular Economy Bill has the potential to reduce waste by introducing new economy strategies & targets. We need to push forward legislation that benefits us and our planet.
