Further to the answer to question S5W-12276 by Roseanna Cunningham on 10 November 2017, by what date  Zero Waste Scotland will publish the …

The position in relation to each part of the question is as follows:
? (a) Residual waste treatment analysis
Zero Waste Scotland’s 2017 work on residual waste treatment analysis did not ultimately result in a published report. However, Zero Waste Scotland’s ongoing support to local authorities has included discussions and investigation of residual waste treatment options. Subsequently, the Scottish Government commissioned the ‘Waste Markets Study’ in 2019; and Zero Waste Scotland recently produced a report, which is being revised following stakeholder feedback, on the carbon impacts of different residual treatment options.
The waste markets study is available at this link: Waste markets study: full report
- gov.scot (www.gov.scot) and Zero Waste Scotland’s report, the climate change impact of burning municipal waste in Scotland, is available here: The climate change impact of burning municipal waste in Scotland | Zero Waste Scotland
(b) Quantifying liquid food waste from food and drink manufacture
This report has not been published because of challenges with anonymisation of confidential shared commercial data; however, it has informed ongoing consideration of food waste prevention issues. A key conclusion was that the current scope of the Scottish food waste prevention target for manufacturing (which excludes liquid disposal) is appropriate in focusing intervention efforts most effectively for the time being.
(c) Insight into consumer food waste behaviours
Two representative online surveys were carried out by Zero Waste Scotland from 12 February to 2 March 2020; one focused on consumption behaviours, the other on disposal behaviours and included ‘In-home food behaviours and food waste’ as a dedicated topic. The publication of this analysis has been delayed due to reprioritisation of work during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, results are informing ongoing intervention and communication development.
(d) Development of household sampling methodology for compositional analysis
The Waste Data Strategy Board has agreed a proposed methodology to undertake compositional analysis of household waste across Scotland. This will be made available on the Zero Waste Scotland website shortly.
(e) Reuse and repair sector stock control options
This report has not been placed on the Zero Waste Scotland website, but it has been shared with relevant stakeholders via Community Resources Network Scotland (CRNS), who were the primary audience. It has also informed programme support to third sector reuse organisations. A copy of the report can be obtained from Zero Waste Scotland.
(f) Reuse and repair shared logistics options
This report was initially placed in the public domain as supporting content for the Zero Waste Scotland grant scheme Funding to Support Re-use & Repair Hub Trials . The report has since been published through the Zero Waste Scotland website as a separate document.
