To mark Scottish Women and Girls in Sport week 2022, Biffa will launch a major new initiative to support grassroots women’s football clubs to improve their recycling and lay groundwork for the Deposit Return Scheme, recognising the important role sport plays in engaging with communities.

The initiative aligns with Biffa’s sponsorship of the regional SWFL Leagues and the aim will be to provide support to each of the SWFL clubs. Bonnyrigg Rose Ladies FC will be the first club to benefit.

Circular Economy Minister Lorna Slater said: “This innovative partnership with Biffa and Scottish Women’s Football will support teams across Scotland to play a part in building the circular economy which will be integral to Scotland’s world-leading deposit return scheme.

“Many of the clubs involved provide vital opportunities for young girls to join a team and get active, and this initiative will help them to become circular economy ambassadors for their communities at the same time.”

Vicky Ernst said: “Biffa is proud to support Scottish Women’s Football’s regional grassroots league the SWFL, and we recognise that the clubs that play in these exciting leagues play a big role in their communities. That’s why we want to support them to be active in encouraging encourage communities to play an active role in growing recycling capacity and making the Deposit Return Scheme a success, both of which we are committed to.”

Aileen Campbell said: “Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week this year is focused on visibility and partnerships, and we are proud to have a great partnership with Biffa who recognise the importance of the grassroots game when it comes to providing girls with opportunities and supporting communities. These clubs deserve the recognition for that work
