Lorna Slater, Scottish Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity:
[A circular economy] means an economy based on re-use and sharing, the elimination of waste, and ensuring that things are built to last
Rebecca Pow, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
I wanted to be very clear, and I hope it has come out in what I have said, that the measures in the resources and waste strategy and the Environment Bill will enable a paradigm shift, in relation to reducing, reusing and recycling our waste, that should limit the amount that ever has to go to incineration and landfill. I hope that, from what I have said, hon. Members understand what is happening, the direction that the Government are absolutely committed to, and the move to a circular economy.
