CARBON EARTH LIMITED

What CARBON EARTH LIMITED does

Carbon Earth Limited is a family-run, privately-held UK business founded in 2007 that operates a single in-vessel composting facility at Lower House Farm, Cardeston, near Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The company collects locally sourced food and green waste and processes it through a temperature-controlled in-vessel composting system that produces PAS100-certified, peat-free compost, British Standard topsoil, blended growing media, ornamental bark, bark mulch, woodchip, sands (horticultural, builders, filling), grass seed, and straw pellet bedding for horses, poultry and small animals. Each batch is quality-tested and screened (typically to 10mm) for consistency.

The company sells directly to end customers via phone orders and a website contact form, with nationwide UK delivery using its own fleet (medium-large Iveco tipper and articulated lorries) alongside farm collection at Lower House Farm. Customer segments span home gardeners, professional landscapers and contractors, equestrian yards and animal owners, farmers, and allotment/community groups. The pricing model is straightforward unit pricing on bags (15kg to 900L), loose bulk loads, and pallets — for example straw pellets at £6.99/15kg to £100/900L and bulk topsoil/bark products at £36–£96 per bulk bag — with bulk discounts for repeat commercial customers and no subscription contracts.

Carbon Earth's commercial motion is sales-led and supported by a light digital presence (Facebook, Instagram, a news/blog section, and Google reviews). It holds PAS100 certification for compost and British Standard compliance for topsoil, and markets on sustainability credentials including a stated 85% organic material recycling rate and 70% carbon footprint reduction through local production. The company has no disclosed external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue or headcount.
