Current status: Answered by Gillian Martin on 18 June 2025
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-37767 by Gillian Martin on 3 June 2025, what assessment has been made of the proportion of (a) public bodies, excluding local authorities, and (b) private sector businesses that are ready to comply with the ban on municipal biodegradable waste to landfill by sending to another facility in Scotland.
Scottish Government officials, supported by Zero Waste Scotland, are in regular contact with representatives of public agencies as well as private sector businesses to help ensure readiness for the forthcoming ban on landfilling biodegradable municipal waste.
This engagement will continue, in order to ensure the effective implementation of the ban as part of our progress towards achieving our net zero ambitions.
