The regenerated site, which is currently open for tipping of soil and rubble, is expected to be fully operational by the autumn. Plans include recycling an old bing and turning the area into a country park.Brewster Brothers, which already employs 39 people at its existing Livingston plant, expects to hire a further 22 staff at Gartshore, supported by the Scottish government's Green Jobs Fund.
It also estimates that it has created more than 750,000 tonnes of recycled aggregates over that period.Brewster Brothers said its expansion reflected a growing recognition within the construction industry of the need to meet sustainability targets and adopt circular business models.
