Abertay Centre for the Environment (ACE) Eco-Partnerships

The University of Abertay's ACE Eco-Partnerships scheme aims to help businesses in Tayside and Fife improve their environmental performance, and provides economic support to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) by creating and sustaining employment. Under the scheme, specialists investigate opportunities for industrial symbiosis among qualifying businesses - where the wastes or outputs from one SME could be used by a neighbouring (or linked) SME. www.abertay.ac.uk

Discovery Compost

Discovery Compost is a unique scheme which enables better waste management and conservation through production of local compost. Dundee City Council collects domestic garden waste to produce ‘Discovery Compost', a high quality alternative to peat-based products which can be used in domestic gardens or larger scale projects.
