05 Sep 2019 --- In this sustainability-focused interview, Michael Lenaghan, Zero Waste Scotland Environmental Policy Advisor and Packaging Innovations 2019 keynote speaker shares his insights on the UK’s drive for more eco-friendly packaging and the development of circular material economies. Lenaghan describes his preference for reusable packaging over recycling, the potential of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Scotland’s “transformative” Deposit Return Scheme (DRS). Zero Waste Scotland is an environmental agency focused on creating a society where resources are valued and waste is eliminated. The agency is supported by the Scottish Government to help achieve its circular economy strategy, which includes three national targets: reduce food waste by 33 percent, recycle 70 percent of all waste and send no more than 5 percent of remaining waste to landfill, all by 2025.
