Every load of material that arrives at our facility begins with rigorous assessment. Before any waste is accepted for processing, it is classified and characterised in line with WM3 guidance, ensuring we understand exactly what we’re handling and that it’s suitable for reuse. Only non-hazardous, appropriately classified material is taken forward into our topsoil production process.

From there, material is screened to remove contraries — stone, roots, rubble and debris — and graded to produce a consistent, workable topsoil suitable for amenity, landscaping and engineering fill applications. Where a site’s waste material doesn’t meet the bar for our standard manufactured topsoil routes, we don’t cut corners: we assess the correct regulatory pathway for that specific material, whether that’s an established exemption or a bespoke permit route, before it goes anywhere near production. It’s this discipline — checking the regulatory position as carefully as we check the material itself — that sets our process apart.
