Litter strategy - five years on: review

Review of our national litter strategy "Towards a litter free Scotland: a strategic approach to higher quality local environments,” published in 2014.


Appendix 1: Stakeholder Engagement

Zero Waste Scotland invited about 20 experts involved in litter prevention to form a steering group to oversee the review. The steering group (Table 1) took part in three half-day workshops between August and October 2019, and provided additional, ad hoc comments and feedback throughout this period.

Organisations which were unable to attend the stakeholder event were given the option to complete a survey between 25 September and 1 November 2019.
