The GBN also set up GBN (South Yorkshire) Ltd, which set up and ran a large scale sustainable composting and plastics recycling project in Sheffield. Unfortunately the site has closed since Outokumpu, who own the site, have now decided to sell the site. Other projects include various cardboard recycling schemes, a carpet tile recycling project at Pennine Magpie, the Calder Future river project; and four business support schemes.

The GBN runs it’s own Packaging Compliance Scheme, Pennine-Pack , and is also a registered Environmental Body, under the Landfill Tax regulations having assisted nearly 150 local community organisations, by securing millions of pounds through the landfill tax credit scheme and other sources.
