1 week to go – Made in Scotland nominations

You have 1 week left to nominate your business for our brand new Remade in Scotland category at April’s Made In Scotland Awards.

The category celebrates businesses who work within the circular economy providing products or processes that will help move Scotland from a throwaway society towards an environment where products are designed and manufactured to be reused, repaired, reconditioned and remanufactured.

This award is open to Scottish companies of any size and in any sector and can be the original manufacturer of the product or an independent remanufacturer.

Innovation should be evidenced in a product or a process created within the last two years which clearly demonstrates reuse rather than recycling.

The impact of the new product or process must be evidenced in at least one of the following criteria:

  • Environmental Impact
  • Economic impact to Scotland (revenue growth, jobs, internationalisation)
  • Transferrable impact (ie impact is felt at a wider level, socially etc)
  • Results in a cultural or behavioural change external to the organisation e.g. supply chain, customers or consumers

Any process or product whereby an item is reused, remanufactured or refurbished to extend its lifecycle is eligible to apply.

For details on all the categories and how to enter, please visit the Made in Scotland website.
