N2 - This paper offers an account of how zero waste governance ‘works’in Scotland. Zero waste has been widely adopted by governments as a policygoal; yet, the term remains equivocal. Using Scotland as a case study, thispaper investigates how zero waste is understood and pursued as a policy goalwithin a national context and how socio-political factors shape zero wastegovernance. Providing the first academic study of waste governance inScotland, the paper introduces key actors, initiatives and objectives from zerowaste policy documents. Using conceptual insights from waste governanceresearch, the paper identifies the importance of boundary organisations,networks, existing institutions, expertise, and stakeholder engagement inshaping the zero waste policy in Scotland. Through these concepts, the paperpresents an account of how zero waste governance works in Scotland and offerspotential themes to further zero waste governance research.
