Family-Run Business Group Opens Cutting-Edge Recycling Facility

The plant, CDE’s flagship project in Scotland, is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the local area.

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): The family-run business group Brewster Bros has announced opening of a new recycling plant in Livingston, Scotland, which it claims is the largest of its kind in the entire U.K. The new £3.8 million plant will process and recycle construction, demolition and excavation waste into high value sand and gravel.

The U.K’s largest recycling plant comprises of high-efficiency CDE equipment, which itself had cost £2.1 million. The wet processing system used by the plant will help to process difficult-to-process construction and demolition waste. The state-of-the-art equipment will be capable to process up to 400,000 tonnes of soils and rubble collected by its fleet of tipper vehicles into useful products such as sand and gravel. The new plant is expected to help Scotland Government’s Circular Economy Initiative, which aims to recycle minimum of 70% of construction and demolition waste by 2020.

Scott Brewster, director at Brewster Bros stated that the new plant would act as a game changer for the construction industry. The plant’s cost-effective and sustainable mode of operation could result in significant cost-savings to its customers. The plant assumes key role in reducing the country’s waste, as estimates suggest that construction and demolition material accounts for nearly half of the country’s waste. The company aims to ensure zero waste to landfill by optimizing material recovery.

The plant, CDE’s flagship project in Scotland, is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the local area. Brewster Bros foresees an annual turnover of nearly £3.0 million at the plant. It will provide support to the construction industry in the central belt area. In addition to preserving local jobs, the plant is expected to create additional employment opportunities in future.

It must be noted that Brewster Bros had made increased investment at the facility after taking over from another family-run business, Henry Gillies.
