Circular economy and waste route map to 2030: business and regulatory impact assessment

Implementation and Delivery Plan

206. The Scottish Government will work closely with key stakeholders to ensure that the Route Map’s strategic objectives are met. Collaboration and partnership have been critical to our progress so far, and we can only be successful through successful partnership working – government, wider public sector, households, communities, charities and businesses. Our approach will be guided by both the Verity House Agreement^[102] and New Deal for Business Group’s recommendations and implementation plan.^[103]

207. As we move into the implementation phase of the Route Map, the Scottish Government reiterates its commitment to work in partnership with stakeholders to assess the full impacts of specific measures as they are further defined to ensure they remain feasible, impactful and deliver value for money. For example, measures may need to consider further individual and cumulative impacts on the environment, public spending, the cost to business including small and medium-sized enterprises, consumer choice and affordability, equality, socio-economic and island communities’ impacts.
