Helping hand to reduce business costs

SMEs in Renfrewshire are to get help from a Scottish Government body to drive down costs.

Resource Ef f i c i e n t Scotland is leading a move to help every small to mediumsized enterprise in the area by reducing their energy, water and raw materials usage.

The organisation, which is headed by Zero Waste Scotland, says it has already helped more than 3,000 businesses in Scotland through a team of expert advisors who work to identify and address areas to improve resource efficiency.

The programme offers free advice and technical support, as well as sharing best practices and new technology.
