How Newton Recycling Service Sets New Standards for Sustainability in Construction
Sustainability is becoming an increasingly pressing matter within the construction industry. With rising concerns over carbon emissions, energy consumption and the depletion of natural resources, construction companies must implement sustainable practices in order to reduce our environmental impact.
Through pioneering recycling initiatives, eco-friendly product developments, and a commitment to environmental protection, we are proud to be setting new standards for sustainability in structural waterproofing.
The Newton Recycling Service: A Game Changer for the Industry
In 2017, we pioneered the first closed-loop waste management and recycling service in the UK waterproofing industry. Now having recycled over 26 tonnes of material, the initiative addresses the problem of the waste that is generated from waterproofing membranes and product packaging, providing a practical, eco-friendly solution for contractors and construction companies.
How Does Newton’s Recycling Service Work?
The process of installing waterproofing products inevitably generates off-cuts, unusable packaging and waste materials. However, rather than allowing these to contribute to landfill waste, our recycling service ensures that they are collected, reprocessed and recycled. The service operates by:
Collection of Waste Materials
Thanks to our own fleet of delivery vehicles, Newton’s specialist drivers collect membrane off-cuts and empty packaging from our nationwide network of Newton Specialist Basement Contractors (NSBCs). These collections coincide with deliveries of new product, thereby reducing the need for separate journeys and minimising carbon emissions.
Sorting and Recycling
The collected materials are returned to our headquarters, where they are processed and prepared for recycling.
Reintegration into the Industry
The prepared materials are sent to a third-party plastics reprocessor, where they are manufactured into new construction products and reintroduced into the supply chain. In doing so, we are contributing to the use of recycled and renewable materials in future building projects.
The Environmental and Commercial Benefits for Contractors
Participating in Newton’s sustainable construction initiative offers numerous benefits to contractors and construction companies:
Reduction of waste disposal costs – Contractors can lower expenses related to waste disposal, improving their bottom line.
Minimised carbon footprint – By recycling waterproofing membranes, contractors help lower the gross annual carbon emissions associated with their construction projects.
Enhanced corporate social responsibility – Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability in construction aligns contractors with global and UK environmental regulations, which is increasingly important to stakeholders.
Compliance with Green Building Standards – The initiative contributes to green certifications such as BREEAM, helping to create sustainable buildings that meet the Future Homes Standard.
Newton’s Commitment to Sustainable Product Development
Beyond recycling, we are dedicated to producing sustainable building materials that reduce energy consumption and promote resource efficiency. This is evident in our latest Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the HydroBond 402 and HydroBond 403 external waterproofing membranes.
What Makes These Products More Sustainable?
Newton’s EPD-certified products further contribute to the reduction of the environmental impact of waterproofing systems by:
Minimising fossil fuel usage during production
Extending material lifespans
Reducing amount of waste, and
Promoting energy efficiency
Overall, these EPD certified products ensure less energy consumption while supporting sustainable building materials and responsible use of resources.
The Impact of Newton’s Recycling Service on the Built Environment
Since its launch, our waste management programme has made a positive impact on green construction. Some of the key outcomes include:
Reduction in landfill waste, ensuring less energy is used in waste disposal.
Significant carbon footprint reductions, as the recycling initiative limits unnecessary material production.
Greater use of sustainable materials, incorporating renewable materials into new building projects.
Improved quality, as more environmentally responsible materials contribute to healthier and more sustainable buildings.
The Essential Role of Sustainability in Construction
As the UK government continues to push for sustainable development, construction companies play an essential role in fostering sustainable construction methods. By integrating sustainable practices such as recycling and EPD-certified construction materials, we are helping to shape a construction sector that is willing to change its approach to environmental sustainability and long-term performance.
Newton Plants 697 Trees Through Tree Planting Partnership
Written by Warren Muschialli
We are over the moon to have contributed to the planting an amazing 697 trees as part of Tsurumi’s Tree Planting Project!
The fantastic initiative from the Japanese pump manufacturer plants a tree for every Tsurumi Pump sold in 2024. Overall, the project aims to plant 10,000 trees both in the UK and overseas during 2024, helping to protect the planet and also remove over 5.5 tonnes of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) from the atmosphere over time.
To put this into context, it is the equivalent of saving 8.2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is roughly the amount used by 750 homes in an entire year!
Protecting our Planet
Trees are one of nature’s greatest weapons in combating climate change as they absorb greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) into their trunks, branches, and leaves, before releasing clean and breathable oxygen back into our atmosphere.
Trees also play a vital role in preventing flooding, reducing localised temperature changes, and providing essential habitats for wildlife. As a result, they are crucial for safeguarding the planet’s ecosystems.
Carma & Green Task Force
To ensure that no-one is just using the scheme as way of ‘green washing’, Tsurumi have partnered with the B-Corp certified environmental company Carma, who will plant the trees.
Furthermore, Tsurumi’s trees will also aid in the rehabilitation and support of armed forces veterans, as well as combating climate change. This is thanks to the Green Task Force, a charity founded to take action against global warming while also creating meaningful reemployment opportunities for our veterans, and who plant trees for Carma.
So far, Green Task Force has planted an amazing 3 million trees, providing nature-based therapy to veterans in order to have a positive impact on their overall mental health.

Newton Waterproofing Recycling Service
We are thrilled to have contributed to another project which aligns with our sustainability initiatives.
These initiatives include our Recycling Service, a closed-loop recycling scheme between Newton and our Specialist Contractors. The services collect off-cuts of HDPE waterproofing membrane, as well as plastic tubs and metal containers, for reprocessing, recycling and reuse within the construction industry. Once the waste has been collected, it is shredded into small chips, which are later used to make new construction materials.
Thanks to our specialist contractors and our Recycling Service, since 2017 we have been able to:
Recycle 24.75 tonnes of plastic
Avoid 28.44 tonnes of CO2 emissions from being released
Collect over 1,100 bags of recycling
By actively supporting Tsurumi’s Tree Planting Project, and successfully recycling waste construction materials, we hope to play our small part in creating a safer, healthier, planet for the future, creating a healthier ecosystem that will benefit the world for years to come.
As of November 2024, the project is heading steadily towards its target, with 8,600+ trees planted across England, Madagascar, Mozambique, and Kenya.
We are looking forward to seeing how the project continues to progress, and we thank Tsurumi for the opportunity to continue to contribute to their fantastic new initiative!
