Scottish Government spent just £1.26m on improving recycling infrastructure since 2007

A Freedom of Information request by GAINS has revealed that the Government has spent just £1.26 million to improve Scotland's recycling infrastructure, since the current administration came into power in 2007. 

Although £6 million had been invested in composting and anaerobic digestion, the Government's response also revealed that not one penny of the £5 million it pledged in 2009 for improving plastics recycling had been used.
