Grit and determination: Tackling a circular economy with Scottish Water and Zero Waste Scotland

With ambitious circular economy and net zero carbon objectives, Scotland plans to lead the way internationally by implementing the principles of circular economy and building a circular society - where products, services and systems are designed to maximize use, minimize waste and regenerate natural systems. Scottish Water supplies and manages Scotland’s water, and has recognized that a circular economy approach for the water sector is also fundamental to meeting the country’s legally binding target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Taking decisive action, Scottish Water has made the first step to implementing a full-scale circular solution by reusing and upcycling grit collected at wastewater treatment works. Grit enters sewers from surface water runoff and has to be removed at wastewater treatment works to avoid costly downstream impacts to plant and equipment. Currently the grit removed from the system is sent to landfill – at considerable cost and carbon impact due to landfill emissions. Recognizing the need for greater ambition to meet the challenges faced by society and our planet, we are working with Scottish Water to develop a more circular, sustainable solution: Upcycling grit in recycled sand and construction products. Jacobs delivered the first two phases of the project on behalf of Zero Waste Scotland, identifying and working with Small- to Medium-sized Enterprises within the recycled aggregate industry in Scotland and developing a high-level business case for grit recovery. We also showed the substantial carbon benefits to Scottish Water by avoiding landfilling the material. The next step is
