Organics Recycling Scotland Conference -  Opportunities and Threats

The 10th Annual Scottish Conference, Exhibition and Dinner will be held on 26th November 2014 in the Westerwood Hotel & Golf Resort, Cumbernauld.

Scotland’s premier organics recycling conference is essential for anyone affiliated to the organics recycling sector and brings together the sector to debate and interact with peers and key decision makers. The conference focuses on the opportunities available in organics recycling, looking at innovative developments and also considering what difficulties the industry faces in moving towards zero waste and achieving the environmental targets outlined by the Scottish Government.
