Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-13230 by Lorna Slater on 20 December 2022, over what period the data used for the modelling by Zero Waste Scotland was collected from local authorities.
Answer
The data used was the last full year of data prior to modelling, wherever possible. This was not always available and, in those circumstances, Zero Waste Scotland agreed with the Local Authority the most appropriate data to be used. The model was then handed over to the Local Authority, allowing updates to be made if more appropriate or recent data became available.
