Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2012
Waste (Scotland) Regulations were passed by the Scottish Parliament on 9 May 2012. They
represent the most significant development in recycling that Scotland has ever seen and are designed to help us realise the true value of
resources we currently throw away. This has the potential to boost our economy and create green
jobs in the process.Source – Zero Waste Scotland

Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2012
The new Regulations will also play a key role in helping Scotland reach its ambitious target of 70% recycling of all waste by 2025.
The key points outlined in the new Waste (Scotland) Regulations are as follows:
All businesses and organisations to present key recyclable material for collection from 1 January 2014
Food waste businesses producing over 50kg of food waste per weekto present it for separate collection from 1 January 2014
Food waste businesses producing over 5kg of food waste per week to present it for separate collection from 1 January 2016
A ban on the use of macerators/kitchen waste disposal to discharge food waste into the public sewer from 1 January 2016

Waste Scotland Regulations 2012
While household recycling rates have leapt to over 40% in the past ten years, household waste accounts for just over 16% of all waste produced in Scotland
so the new Waste (Scotland) Regulations turn attention to the waste produced by businesses.
Research has shown that achieving 70% recycling by 2025 could benefit Scotland’s economy overall by
£175million - mitigating against rising landfill costs and enabling revenue to be generated from the sale
of high quality recyclable materials. Source – Zero Waste Scotland

Waste Scotland Regulations 2014
Scotland’s businesses produce an estimated 6.5million tonnes of waste every year.
The new Zero Waste Regulations require all businesses operating in Scotland to present key recyclables, specifically paper and card, glass, metals, and plastics for recycling. For businesses working in food retail, food production, or preparation, a
separate food waste collection will also be required.
Changing the way businesses manage their waste holds money-saving potential, particularly by taking simple steps to become more resource efficient.
Waste prevention and resource efficiency is where real cost savings can be made. Preventing waste in the first place holds the potential to save Scottish
businesses up to £2billion. And the hospitality sector alone could save £64 million by cutting out food waste.
