Enscape developed a strategy for Orkney Islands Council in 2025 that aims to establish a comprehensive and sustainable approach to waste and resource management, based on a vision of increased activity to prevent waste from occurring, to increase recycling levels and provide a service that is more efficient.  This involves the delivery of actions that can provide wider benefits to the community, supporting increased employment, provide lower-cost goods and materials by keeping these in circulation for longer in Orkney. 

The result of implementing the strategy will be outcomes which deliver a more circular economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to business as usual.  This strategy aligns with national policy and regulatory developments and outlines key initiatives and actions concerning prevention, reuse, recycling and disposal, the latter in terms of both energy from waste and landfill (available here).
