The Scotland Recycling Fund

The Scotland Recycling Fund, as part of the Scottish Public Sector Loan Scheme, is a ring-fenced fund held by the eligible public sector body. It is created with capital provided by Scottish Government through Salix, and equally matched by the public sector body.

The scheme aims to increase long-term investment in energy efficient technologies across the public sector. 

Our contribution is a long-term 100 per cent interest-free repayable grant. Scottish local authorities can use their former Central Energy Efficiency Fund or their own capital as their match contribution. The financial savings achieved by the projects are reinvested in further eligible projects year on year, hence the term ‘Recycling Fund’. 

We are passionate about working with organisations on their fund management and project delivery in Scotland.
