We would like to thank Mr Neil Gray MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Wellbeing Economy, Fair Work and Energy for doing the honours.


Innovating Aggregate Recovery at Lathallan

In the realm of recycling and waste management, the processing of aggregates represents a significant challenge due to the mixed and bulky nature of construction and demolition waste. At Lathallan, our approach to this challenge is innovative and sustainable, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship and the circular economy.

Comprehensive Sorting and Processing

The journey of aggregate recovery begins with the meticulous sorting of incoming construction and demolition waste. Using advanced screening and separation technologies, we efficiently segregate materials based on size, type, and composition. This precise sorting is crucial for extracting valuable aggregates from the mixed waste stream, ensuring that quality materials are recovered and contamination is minimised.

Material Recovery and Recycling

Once separated, the recovered aggregates undergo further processing to ensure they meet the high standards required for reuse. This process includes crushing, screening, and washing, effectively removing any remaining debris or impurities. The result is a range of high-quality recycled aggregates ready for use in new construction projects.

Our recycled aggregates are a sustainable alternative to virgin materials, offering comparable strength and durability for various applications, including road base, landscaping, and construction fill. By repurposing these materials, we not only reduce the demand for natural resources but also significantly lower the environmental impact associated with traditional aggregate production, such as quarrying and transportation.

Closing the Loop

The aggregate recycling process at Lathallan exemplifies our holistic approach to waste management. By transforming construction and demolition waste into valuable resources, we’re not just diverting material from landfills but actively contributing to reducing carbon emissions and conserving natural resources.

Our efforts in aggregate recovery testify to our belief in every material’s potential to find a second life. Through continuous investment in technology and innovation, we strive to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our recycling processes, further advancing our commitment to sustainability and a circular economy.

A Sustainable Future with Recycled Aggregates

The work done at Lathallan is pivotal in showcasing how sustainable practices can be integrated into traditional industries like construction. By choosing recycled aggregates, our clients benefit from a high-quality, cost-effective material that plays a vital role in promoting environmental sustainability.

We are proud to be at the forefront of aggregate recycling, demonstrating that with the right technology and innovation, even the most challenging waste streams can be converted into resources that support our planet’s health and our communities’ well-being.

Advanced Recycling and Energy Recovery at Lathallan

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.
