A major new initiative “Circular North-east” to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Aberdeen city region identify and capitalise on circular economy opportunities has been launched on  18 April 2018 by ACR+ member Zero Waste Scotland and Aberdeen as well as Grampian Chamber of Commerce.  In the framework on the initiative, backed by the Scottish Government and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the Chamber will deliver a range of local activities to help identify opportunities for local business and direct them towards available support and funding.
 
Circular North-east complements Zero Waste Scotland’s nationwide support for SMEs to develop circular economy business ideas, including its 18 million pounds Circular Economy Investment Fund and Circular Economy Business Support Service.
