Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has been appointed by
Zero Waste Scotland to help progress its world-leading work on
implementing circular economy solutions in Scotland.
Jacobs will provide environmental, economic and engagement
services ranging from research, identification of circular economy
opportunities, development of pilot schemes, pipeline development,
and technical support around feasibility studies and business cases
for implementation of circular economy business models for Scottish
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Jacobs is one of seven
consultancies with circular economy expertise engaged to help Zero
Waste Scotland expand its circular economy support over the next
two years.
Zero Waste Scotland supports delivery of the Scottish
Government’s circular economy strategy, which seeks to retain
products and materials in high-value use and make the most of
resources, maximising economic benefit for Scotland and reducing
environmental impact at the same time. Jacobs’ services will
support Zero Waste Scotland and its SME partners achieve this
goal.
Louise McGregor, Head of Circular Economy at Zero Waste
Scotland, said: “Scotland is an award-winning pioneer of the
circular economy, and we at Zero Waste Scotland are proud to have
supported more than 30 businesses with circular economy business
models and services to date. We are working hard to ensure Scotland
enjoys the maximum economic, social and environmental benefits of
more circular approaches to business. This project will help us
continue that vital work by developing even more opportunities to
maximise profits and minimise environmental impact.”
“Jacobs has worked with Zero Waste Scotland for several years to
identify and respond to resource efficiency and circular economy
opportunities in a variety of industry sectors,” said Jacobs Senior
Vice President Buildings and Infrastructure Bob Duff. “We have some
of the most experienced and enthusiastic specialists in the waste
and resources industry; people who are passionate about challenging
current thinking. Our strategic advice helps businesses operate
more effectively and benefit from more sustainable resource use. We
look forward to leveraging our experience and skills to build on
the strong relationship we have developed with Zero Waste
Scotland.”
