Sustainable Waste Management for Composite Prime
Composite Prime is a fast-growing decking specialist based in Bingley, Yorkshire. Founded in 2014, the business operates from a busy trading estate and employs more than 20 people. As production and demand increased, the company needed a structured, compliant, and sustainable waste management solution to support its next phase of growth.
We partnered with them to implement a tailored setup that improved segregation, strengthened compliance, and supported Composite Prime’s zero-to-landfill ambitions.

The waste challenges
As a growing manufacturer operating in a busy warehouse environment, Composite Prime needed more than basic collections.
Rapid growth and operational pressure
With expansion came increased waste volumes across production and office functions. The business required:
- A compliant commercial waste collection schedule
- Clear segregation processes
- Reliable, consistent service
- A partner who could provide strategic guidance
Sustainability expectations
Composite Prime has strong environmental credentials. Their products are manufactured using recycled HDPE plastic and FSC-certified wood flour, and their decking systems are fully recyclable at the end of life.
To date, they have:
- Saved more than 176 million milk bottles from landfill
- Recycled the equivalent of 1.8 million plastic bottle caps
- Diverted millions of plastic bottles from entering the oceans
Their waste management setup needed to reflect these sustainability standards.
Our solutions
Our in-house experts worked alongside Composite Prime to build a compliant and scalable waste management plan.
What we put in place
- Weekly commercial waste collection
- Clear segregation for dry mixed recycling, general waste, cardboard, and plastics
- Standard bins sized correctly for their site and production levels
- Ongoing back-office support for documentation and compliance
We also supported their zero-to-landfill approach by ensuring that decking scrap materials were managed responsibly. Usable scrap is repurposed into product samples for prospective clients, reducing waste and reinforcing their circular approach to manufacturing.
The services we provided
