Government Minister visits our Biorefinery in Grangemouth

New legislation to tackle waste by improving recycling rates and increasing reuse has been published by the Scottish Government. The Circular Economy (Scotland) Bill was introduced by Lorna Slater MSP, the Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity. The ambition of a circular economy is to generate a society where products are used and re-used for as long as possible, maximising their value and minimising waste, and where by-products are captured and used to create additional valuable commodities.

Celtic Renewables are at the forefront of maximising the generation of value from biological residues, and on launching the new circular economy bill Minister Slater visited the company’s plant at Grangemouth to see first-hand how by-products of the whisky industry are processed into high-value low-carbon green chemicals that are used in our daily lives.
