Scotland is known for being progressive on eliminating waste and transitioning to a circular economy.
Useful Projects collaborated with the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) and Zero Waste Scotland to explore opportunities and incubate new partnerships for a Scottish circular economy.
Our role was to identify and scope out two pilot projects to develop and test new approaches to product and service design; one based on an industrial cycle and the other on a biological cycle.
We focused our efforts on Scotland’s largest industries: whisky, fish, oil and gas. We conducted technical feasibility studies and engaged with the supply chain to identify business opportunities and next steps for implementation.
