Lathallan: Pioneering Sustainable Waste Management
Welcome to the Lathallan facility, operated by Levenseat, a leader in sustainable waste management solutions. Nestled near the vibrant Polmont, Falkirk, Lathallan represents the cutting edge of recycling and waste processing technology. Our mission is to drive innovation in treating, recycling, and managing waste, turning today’s waste into tomorrow’s resources.
WHAT WE DO
At Lathallan, we’re not just a recycling facility but a hub for environmental innovation. Our operations span a broad spectrum of waste processing and recovery activities designed to minimise environmental impact and maximise resource recovery. Through advanced sorting, recycling, and treatment technologies, we handle various materials, from household waste to industrial by-products, ensuring that as much material as possible is diverted from landfills and reused, recycled, or converted into energy.
OUR FACILITY
The Lathallan facility is among the most advanced in Scotland, boasting state-of-the-art equipment and processes that set new standards in waste management. Our approach combines mechanical sorting with innovative treatment technologies, enabling us to recover valuable materials and generate renewable energy from what was once considered waste.
COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Lathallan. Our operations are guided by the circular economy principles, aiming to reduce waste, lower carbon emissions, and promote positive environmental management. We are committed to continuous improvement, investing in research and development to explore new ways to reduce our environmental footprint and enhance the efficiency of our recycling and recovery processes.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Exciting developments are underway at Lathallan, with a recent announcement of a significant investment to enhance and expand our facility. Supported by a grant of £962,968 from Scottish Enterprise’s Low Carbon Manufacturing Challenge Fund, this investment will create 50 new jobs and enable us to further our capabilities in sustainable waste management. This expansion reflects our growth and commitment to supporting Scotland’s transition to a low-carbon, circular economy.

Lathallan Official Opening
On Thursday the 19th of October, we celebrated the official opening of our new site in Lathallan. We welcomed some visitors from both The Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise who were shown around the facility.
We would like to thank Mr Neil Gray MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Wellbeing Economy, Fair Work and Energy for doing the honours.
Advanced Recycling and Energy Recovery at Lathallan
With a visionary approach to waste treatment, our newly configured facility leverages the latest technological advancements to tackle one of the most challenging aspects of environmental sustainability: transforming complex waste streams into valuable resources.
State-of-the-Art Material Recovery
At the heart of our operation is a sophisticated sorting and recovery process designed to handle a diverse and complex mixture of waste materials. Utilising cutting-edge technology, we meticulously separate and recover high levels of recyclable material. Our facility is equipped to identify and extract:
WOOD
Salvaged and repurposed for various uses, including construction materials and biomass fuel.
METAL
Sorted, cleaned, and recycled, finding new life in manufacturing and industrial applications.
PLASTICS
Carefully processed to be re-introduced into the production cycle, reducing the need for new plastic production.
AGGREGATES
They are recovered and reused in construction projects, significantly reducing the environmental impact associated with quarrying and transportation.
This process extends the lifecycle of these materials and plays a crucial role in reducing landfill use, conserving natural resources, and lowering carbon emissions associated with new material production.
From Waste to Energy
A key innovation at Lathallan is our approach to managing materials that cannot be recycled in the traditional sense. Once deemed unrecyclable, these remnants are transformed into high-quality fuel through meticulous preparation. This fuel is critical in generating renewable energy that can be utilised at energy form waste facilities.
Leading by Example
The Lathallan facility’s approach to waste management exemplifies how technology and innovation can transform waste into resources, contributing to environmental sustainability and economic development. By recovering materials and
generating energy from what was once considered waste, we’re addressing the immediate challenges of waste management and paving the way for future generations to thrive in a cleaner, greener world.
Our ongoing investments in technology and infrastructure, supported by initiatives like the Low Carbon Manufacturing Challenge Fund from Scottish Enterprise, underscore our dedication to excellence and innovation in sustainable waste
management. With each advancement, we move closer to our goal of zero waste to landfill, demonstrating our commitment to environmental stewardship and our role in Scotland’s journey toward a circular economy.
Join us at Lathallan as we innovate and lead in sustainable waste management. Together, we’re not just processing waste; we’re creating a legacy of sustainability for Scotland and beyond.
