Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether Zero Waste Scotland engaged with the British Metals Recycling Association while producing its report, How should Scotland Manage its Scrap Steel?, and, if not, for what reason such engagement did not take place.
Answer
Zero Waste Scotland is a company limited by guarantee that is independent from the Scottish Government.
Zero Waste Scotland advises us that the report is the first part of a project to analyse the steel market in Scotland and the opportunities to manage scrap steel and is based on modelling and not stakeholder engagement.
