Zero Waste Scotland, the Scottish Government-funded body which supports the delivery of its Zero Waste Plan, has announced it is recruiting its first chairperson and management board.

The organisation, which is due to move to a new corporate structure this summer, works to maximise the efficient use of materials, energy and water to achieve economic and environmental benefits.

Currently part of the UK-based Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), Zero Waste Scotland will, from July, operate as an organisation in its own right, and is seeking candidates for board positions with relevant experience of resource management, energy-efficiency, or the circular economy sectors.

Zero Waste Scotland’s director,  Iain Gulland (pictured above) commented: ‘We are looking for committed, experienced individuals to lead our corporate governance and ensure our continued effectiveness.

‘Meanwhile, the staff team will continue to progress work accelerating Scotland towards a more circular and resource-efficient economy.’

Mr Gulland added that the new chairperson will likely to have a proven track record as chair of a high profile committee or board in the commercial, public or voluntary sectors.
