6. Setting our sights
We’re funded to support delivery of the Scottish Government’s circular economy strategy, Making Things Last. We receive additional funding to support the EU’s growth strategy.

7. Why?
Our work is becoming ever more critical against a global backdrop of:
climate change
rising population
unprecedented pressure on the world’s land, water, energy and raw materials.
The world is already 1.3C warmer than it was before industrialisation
The world’s population is increasing is expected to peak at 10bn in 2050 putting more pressure on resources.
We’re consuming large quantities of land, water, energy and raw materials to provide food and manufactured goods.
