Falkirk Council, GB evaluates community-owned solar farm in Grangemouth as part of net-zero effort

The council conducted a geospatial analysis of 28 potential sites in the Falkirk and Grangemouth Investment Zone. This review was informed by months of online community engagement showing a desire for green energy sources. The Grangemouth Flexible Solar Project will provide zero-emission energy in an area that produces 30% of Falkirk's industrial emissions. Residents and business owners benefit from lower energy bills as the council works toward net-zero emissions by 2045.

Falkirk Council, GB uses state-of-the-art recycling plant to serve public and private clients

The council originally invested in BlueMAC equipment for the Roughmute Recycling Centre to handle its own recyclables. A rotating screen, eddy current separator, and baler create packed recyclables ready for resale. Fluctuations in the global recyclables market led council officials to take on private sector contracts for sorting and baling. Falkirk Council also handles waste baling for Moray Council and plastic processing for Dundee City Council to produce extra revenue.
