Waste and the waste management industry are critical to the Scottish economy; waste is both a by-product of economic activity and an input to economic activity - whether through material or energy recovery.
The management of waste has economic implications for productivity, government expenditure and the environment. An organisations decision over how to manage waste will impact on their profitability.
Energy and Utility Skills has developed a Modern Apprenticeship in Sustainable Resource Management to support the skills needs of the sector in Scotland.
More information about the industry can be found on the Energy and Utility Skills website.
