10 Re-use, Recycling and Waste > Waste, Policy & the Environment
"Scotland produces over 3.3 million tonnes of municipal waste each year, of which over 2.6 million tonnes are collected from households. To tackle this problem in a way that meets the needs of the present without affecting future generations means changing our behaviour and our attitudes to waste.The National Waste Strategy sets out a framework within which Scotland can reduce the amount of waste it produces and deal with the waste that is produced in a more sustainable way. It covers all household, commercial and industrial waste"
