The Scottish government has drafted a New Circular Economy Bil to be published in May that could forbid the destruction of unsold, durable goods. Proposals for a ban will address public concerns about unsold products being destroyed or ending up in landfills. Circular Economy Minister Lorna Slater said: "It is absolutely senseless for perfectly good products to end up in landfills. Rather than being wasted in landfills or incinerated, they should be reused or repurposed [...] "We are living in a climate emergency. When goods go to landfills without having even been used once, we don't just waste the product - we also waste all the energy and raw materials that went into making it." Way to go Scotland! I hope the ban gets implemented. https://www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-60691961.amp
