Skye & Raasay Highland Community Waste Partnership will be piloting a sustainability shed at Camping Skye, Broadford, to grow sustainability in tourism in our area. This will provide reusable pizza boxes and containers, in collaboration with nearby cafés and the local refill shop, reducing the need for single-use, disposable packaging. There will also be a mini resource library at Camping Skye, offering a range of tools and resources such as tent repair, binoculars, and nature guidebooks, so campers don’t have to buy their own.
The aim is to share, repair, or reuse to open possibilities for a more circular approach: reducing the consumption of new goods, avoiding the purchase of goods for single use, and encouraging more sustainable practices. The project is funded by Circular Communities Scotland’s Share and Repair Network Tourism Fund.
