Zero Waste Scotland: we need to talk about consumption

We need to rethink how we consume in Scotland and around the world. Around four-fifths of Scotland’s footprint comes from the products and materials we manufacture, use, and throw away. In fact, the average Scot consumes 18.4 tonnes of materials every year – that’s the equivalent of 50kg per week on average.

The recent appointment of the first Circular Economy Minister in Scotland provides the opportunity to accelerate circularity and change Scotland for the better.

The discussion sessions include

• Bridging the overconsumption and carbon gap
• Circular cities and regions
• Breaking the consumption habit
• Rethinking the food system to reduce food waste
• Global supply chains and business models
• Turning waste into valuable resources
