ESG & Sustainability — Charlie Bear Holdings
ESG &
Sustainability
Our entire business model is built on the circular economy. Every company we operate exists to recover value from waste streams that others write off — and to do so with zero compromise on environmental standards.
Waste to landfill
Across all operations
Materials recovered
And resold or repurposed
Operating companies
Each ESG-first by design
Operational design
Mobile-first, minimal footprint
Four ESG
Pillars.
Zero Landfill
Every material stream processed by our three operating companies is recovered, separated, and resold. We have a strict zero-landfill policy across all sites and deployments.
100% Materials Recovered
From munitions scrap to composite turbine blade constituents, our processes are engineered to achieve full material recovery — nothing is written off as unrecoverable.
MOD Compliant
Our munitions recycling operations meet Ministry of Defence procurement and disposal standards, ensuring full regulatory compliance on every defence contract.
Low Emissions Operations
Our containerised, mobile-first model is designed to minimise transport movements, reduce site footprint, and lower operational emissions across all deployments.
ESG in
Practice.
- Containerised unit eliminates need for permanent hazardous waste facilities
- On-site processing removes long-distance transport of live munitions
- 100% scrap metal recovered and sold back into the supply chain
- Fully compliant with MOD and REACH regulations
- Cold-cut water jet technology — no thermal emissions or combustion risk
- Deployed on all-terrain Moggy to reach remote or sensitive sites
- Eliminates need for controlled detonation and associated blast debris
- Water recirculation system minimises consumption on deployment
- Addresses the growing crisis of end-of-life wind turbine blade disposal
- Thermal processing separates glass fibre, resin, and steel components
- All constituent materials resold — closing the loop on renewable energy waste
- Supports the UK's renewable energy decommissioning obligations
