Protec Group Reaches Major Sustainability Milestone: Over 6,000 Tonnes Recycled

We are dedicated to reducing the construction sector’s environmental impact by providing sustainable products and embracing responsible manufacturing practices.

We’re proud to share a major milestone: we have now recycled over 6,000 tonnes of temporary protection materials, preventing plastic waste from reaching landfill and giving it a new life in sustainable products.

A True ClosedLoop system

We believe that businesses have a responsibility to innovate and drive real change in sustainability. That’s why we have invested in the UK’s first GreenCircle Certified ClosedLoop remanufacturing scheme for temporary protection materials.

Through this scheme, we collect used Proplex boards from construction sites and recycle them into high-quality, sustainable protection products – ensuring a true ClosedLoop process that minimises waste and maximises resource efficiency.

GreenCircle Certified for Complete Transparency

Sustainability claims should always be backed by transparency and accountability. Our GreenCircle Certification provides independent verification that our ClosedLoop scheme genuinely processes post-consumer waste into new, sustainable products. This certification reassures our customers that by using Protec’s ClosedLoop scheme, they are actively contributing to a more circular economy and reducing their environmental impact.

Reducing Waste, Protecting the Planet

With over 6,000 tonnes of material recycled so far, our ClosedLoop scheme is already making a significant difference. Every Proplex board returned to us helps:

• Cut carbon emissions by reducing the need for virgin plastic production.
• Minimise landfill waste, keeping valuable materials in circulation.
• Support the construction industry’s sustainability targets, providing an easy and effective way to lower environmental impact.

Join Us in Building a Sustainable Future

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but this is just the beginning. As we continue to expand our ClosedLoop recycling efforts, we invite our customers and partners to work with us in making construction more sustainable. By choosing Protec’s responsibly manufactured, fully recyclable protection solutions, you’re making a powerful commitment to protecting not just your projects, but the planet too.

Let’s keep driving sustainability forward – together.
