Four projects comprising the Project Beacon plastics recycling programme in Scotland will receive £1.7m ($2.3m) from Zero Waste Scotland, and another £1.7m from private investors. The first facility is expected to be launched for demonstration later this year. A spokesman said: “Scottish Government investment has helped transform Scotland’s waste management system into one of the most advanced systems in Europe. Zero Waste Scotland is supporting the project through its Circular Economy Investment Fund, which is backed by the Scottish government and the European Regional Development Fund.
