How can we use technology to support the circular economy and Net Zero ambitions?

South of Scotland Enterprise and Zero Waste Scotland

The Challenge

South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE) has a mission to support businesses, social enterprises, and communities in the South of Scotland. One of the key areas of support we want to develop focusses on the circular economy and Scotland’s ambition to reach a Net Zero economy by 2045.
