Single-Use Disposable Beverage Cups Charge: Island Communities Impact Assessment Report: Pre-Consultation Interim Report

An interim Island Communities Impact Assessment Report, to support the consultation on the proposed implementation of charging for single-use disposable beverage cups in Scotland.


5. Conclusions

This ICIA has identified three potential issues: cost; transient populations; and waste management (potential positive).

Of the potentially adverse impacts, we do not believe the issues related to cost or transient populations will have a more significant impact on islands than what can be expected on the mainland. However, we welcome further views on these and any other potential issues, during the consultation phase.
