The INCREASE III programme

The INCREASE III programme is a £7.5M Scottish Government Investment Programme being delivered through a partnership between the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and the Community Recycling Network for Scotland (CRNS).

The aim of the INCREASE Programme is to help not-for-profit, community based organisations develop projects that will increase the reduction, reuse and recycling of waste in line with the move towards a Zero Waste Scotland.
