Every year, hundreds of tonnes of unused off-cuts of virgin and recycled cavity drainage membrane is sent to land-fill by the UK waterproofing industry, as there were no recycling facilities capable of collecting and recycling the materials. These high-quality HDPE and HDPP membranes are designed to last for the lifetime of the buildings in which they are installed, however this means that they are also definitely not designed to be environmentally friendly or biodegradable. In response, Newton Waterproofing Systems have developed the Newton Membrane Recycling Service, the UK waterproofing industry's very first closed-loop process for collecting, recycling and reusing the waste created by the installation of our cavity drain membranes. Watch our launch video to find out more about the service, and what contractors, developers, architects and recycling organisations think about it.
