Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will develop an incentive gap, that declines over time, for the amount of residual waste treatment as Scotland transitions towards a fully circular economy.
Answer
The recently published report of the Independent Review of the Role of Incineration in the Waste Hierarchy recommends that the Scottish Government should develop an indicative cap that declines over time for the amount of residual waste treatment needed as Scotland transitions towards a fully circular economy. We are carefully considering all recommendations made in the report and will set out our initial response in June.
