Opportunity overview
Zero Waste Scotland is seeking an innovative technology solution that helps businesses demonstrate the commercial value of circular economy practices and attract investment. Existing assessment tools often overlook benefits including (but not limited to) supply chain resilience, resource security, customer retention and reduced exposure to market shocks.
We are looking for an intuitive, evidence-based tool that integrates the wider benefits into business and investment decisions, while generating insights to inform future support and policy development. The solution should build business and investor confidence, help accelerate adoption of circular practices and support Scotland's transition to a sustainable, circular economy.
