The Community Resources Network Scotland (CRNS) represents recycling and re-use organisations across Scotland on issues of sustainable community resource management.
Most members of CRNS are social enterprises managing waste resources at a local level through recycling, reuse, composting, waste reduction and waste education activities. They prevent tonnes of valuable product and materials from ending up in landfill, create local jobs and other economic opportunities, and typically work to help those on low incomes or who are disadvantaged.
Speaker and workshop presentations from our 2012 Conference can be accessed from this webpage.
A new bill introduced to the Scottish Parliament could see Scotland adopt a new tax to replace UK Landfill Tax from April 2015 while providing more support to communities.
CRNS has signed up to a new Scottish Government-backed commitment to help SMEs and other businesses to reduce waste and recycle more.
Community Jobs Scotland is now open for another round of applications from third sector employers.
Today CRNS joined 15 Revolve organisations by achieving Committed to Excellence. Quality Scotland paid a validation visit today when all the staff, and Sandy Mohamet from the CRNS Board, took part.
