Around twenty contractors have been axed from the company behind the controversial deposit return scheme, fuelling concerns about the future of the firm.
It is understood they were told today by Circularity Scotland their services are no longer required.
Scottish Labour Net Zero spokesperson Sarah Boyack said: “This is awful news for those who’ve lost their job and will add to the anxiety other staff are undoubtedly feeling.
“The only person who should lose their job because of this mess is Green Minister Lorna Slater.”
