Scottish Resources Awards

Sponsored by:

This award showcases excellence in any aspect of sustainable resource management and recognises achievements across the full spectrum of the recycling and resources sector. Entrants must be operating in Scotland but applications are invited from any organisation, large or small, from the public, private or community sectors who are achieving significant results in sustainable resource management. 

This award is very much about going beyond a basic level of environmental appreciation and statutory action. Innovation, passion for a greener Scotland, focus on sustainable economic growth and protection of our resources should be at the heart of applications.

Examples of previous winners and entrants include ….

• Aberdeenshire Council
• Recycling and Services
• Élan Hair Design

Entrants must complete an application form including a summary of up to 1000 words about of how they achieved their success and the range of benefits it has had.

Entries should be mainly based on the period April 2012 to July 2013. However, relevant material can be submitted for work prior to April 2012 and for the months after July 2013 to show how successes developed are continuing.

To reflect the wide range of industries represented by these awards, our panel of judges is made up of key figures from the recycling and resource sector, all with the extensive experience and broad  knowledge required for assessing entries.

There will be 3 Awards in this category. The judging criteria in this category will be such that it will enable small, medium, and large organisations to compete on an equal basis.
