The Scottish Government has created a new programme called Zero Waste Scotland to support delivery of its Zero Waste Plan.

Zero Waste Scotland has been created to provide a one-stop-shop for support and advice to individuals, businesses and local authorities in order to help them reduce waste, recycle more and use natural resources more efficiently.

It will integrate the activities of Waste Aware Scotland. WRAP Scotland, Keep Scotland Tidy, Remade Scotland, Envirowise in Scotland, NISP in Scotland, and some programmes delivered by the Community Recycling Network for Scotland.

The full integration of these programmes will take place throughout 2010/11.
