Here are the business stories making the headlines in Scotland and the UK this morning.
Grant for North-east environmental-services business
Aberdeenshire environmental-services firm Recycl8 is launching a recruitment drive after it secured a six-figure sum from Scottish Enterprise.
The grant was awarded as part of the public body's Low Carbon Manufacturing Challenge Fund (LCMCF), part of the Scottish Government's Making Scotland's Future plan.
It helps companies in developing low-carbon products, processes or services, as well as supporting projects that accelerate the energy transition in the manufacturing industry.
Recycl8 plans to use the cash to recruit several new members of staff across its research and development division, as well as complementary roles.
The LCMCF award will also allow the firm to showcase the benefits of R8 Mix, its low-carbon concrete solution.
Energy Voice says there are ambitions to secure further private investment in the near future too, and Recycl8 said is in ongoing discussions with a number of interested parties.
Oil and gas chaplain to retire
North Sea oil and gas industry chaplain Gordon Craig has announced plans to reture and his successor will take over in October.
The Press & Journal says he has been in the role for more than 11 years.
Industry leaders said he had made an "enduring impact" during his tenure.
The Rev Michael Mair will be taking over on October 16, having previously served as parish minister for St David's Broomhouse Church in Edinburgh.
New chair sought for North Sea Transition Authority
The North Sea Transition Authority has begun its hunt for a new board chair ahead of the departure of Tim Eggar in spring 2024.
Energy Voice says the successful candidate will be required to carry out duties for around two days per week, receiving remuneration of £80,000 per annum for a term of three years.
Mr Eggar, a former UK energy minister, took on the position in 2019.
Price rises slow down at shops
Price rises in British shops have slowed to their lowest rate since October but they are still significant, new data shows.
Prices rose 6.9% in the year to August, down from 8.4% in July, the British Retail Consortium said.
Meat, potatoes and some cooking oil prices have risen less sharply, according to the BBC.
But, with grain exports from Ukraine in jeopardy, a rapid slowdown in price rises is unlikely. Ukraine accounts for almost a third of global grain exports.
Up until last month, a deal between Russia and other countries allowed the safe passage of grain out of Ukraine, but Russia has now pulled out of that deal, known as the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
Toyota hit by glitch
Japanese motor industry giant Toyota has suspended operations at all of its assembly plants in its home country due to a glitch in its production system.
The move has brought domestic production at the world's biggest-selling car maker to a standstill.
The malfunction has meant the firm has not been able to order components.
A spokesperson told the BBC that the firm is trying to find the cause of the problem, but does not currently believe it is due to a cyber attack.
On Tuesday morning, Toyota suspended operations at 12 of its 14 assembly plants in Japan.
Later in the day a spokesperson said production at all 14 facilities would be suspended.
FCA warns on scammers
The UK's financial regulator has warned of an increasing number of scammers pretending to be the watchdog.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said its impersonators aim to get people to hand over money or sensitive information, such as bank account PINs and passwords.
The BBC says the public reported more than 7,700 instances of this type of scam to the FCA's contact centre so far this year.
Reports of this type of scam have more than doubled since 2021, the FCA said.
It added that a common tactic used by fraudsters was to tell people they were owed compensation, and then ask for bank details or a processing fee to arrange "payment".
The FCA said it did not contact people in this way, and that anyone asked for personal information should hang up the phone or ignore the e-mail.
Ulez expansion
The Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) has been expanded to include all of London's boroughs.
Drivers must pay a charge of £12.50 per day to drive a non-compliant vehicle anywhere in the zone under the controversial clean-air plan.
To monitor the new zone, Transport for London said it would install 2,750 cameras across outer London. As of mid-August 1,900 cameras had been erected, almost 70% of the total number planned.
Meanwhile, the BBC says the Met Police has received hundreds of reports of criminal damage being done to cameras, with more than 300 of them either vandalised or stolen.
Is a Whopper burger too small?
Burger King must face a lawsuit that alleges it makes its Whopper burger appear larger on its menus than it is in reality, a US judge has ruled.
The lawsuit accuses the fast-food giant of misleading customers by showing the burger with a meatier patty and ingredients that "overflow over the bun".
"The plaintiffs' claims are false," Burger King told the BBC.
Rivals McDonald's and Wendy's are facing a similar lawsuit in the US.
The class action lawsuit against Burger King alleged that the Whopper was made to look 35% larger, with more than double the amount of meat compared to what was actually served to customers.
Burger King had earlier argued that it was not required to deliver burgers that look "exactly like the picture".
In the ruling, US District Judge Roy Altman said it should be left to jurors to "tell us what reasonable people think".
