SUMMARY:Roadmap to circularity for islands and rural communities
DESCRIPTION:Join Zero Waste Scotland in this session aimed at island and rural communities which addresses circularity in the Built Environment and Energy Infrastructure sector. \nCircular economy practices in both Scotland’s Built Environment (BE) and Energy Infrastructure sector\, have the potential to deliver social\, environmental and economic benefits by reducing emissions associated with infrastructure design and deployment; enhancing the strength of local supply chains by ensuring that materials and components are maintained at and restored to the highest level of value possible for as long as possible; and reducing our dependence on international supply chains for the supply of essential materials such as critical raw materials. \nZero Waste Scotland are currently developing sector specific roadmaps\, each of which will have a set of interventions designed specifically to address circularity in the Energy Infrastructure sector. A system thinking approach has been taken\, which has included the development of system maps for each sector. These maps tell us the most important factors influencing businesses in these sectors and we are looking for stakeholders to help identify the correct interventions to address these. This requires input from stakeholders across the economy who influence the sector including finance\, insurance\, public organisations\, skills and standards.
