Last month, we welcomed the Senior Commercial Manager at Balfour Beatty plc Brad Henderson and Environmental Compliance Manager Rebecca Ffitch to our Manufacturing and Recycling Centre in Sheffield.

Our main goal for this visit was to introduce our ClosedLoop Remanufacturing Scheme to Balfour Beatty’s team and demonstrate how it works in practice to implement it on many construction sites.

We successfully collaborate by supplying our temporary protection, including ProplexRE, to their construction sites and working towards supporting both our sustainability goals by implementing Protec’s ClosedLoop Remanufacturing Scheme on some projects.

Recycled material from Balfour Beatty plc’s sites goes straight back into our manufacturing process, creating new ProplexRE temporary protection sheets, ready for re-distribution back to construction sites, further preventing accidental damage.

Grass areas in winter often become saturated and slippery, causing potential danger on construction sites.

TrackTile is a heavy-duty reinforcement mat manufactured from 100% recycled materials. Slip-resistant, tough and interlocking, it is compliant with permeable paving regulations and is also reusable and recyclable.

We love seeing incredible results while working in partnership with our customers to take back used Proplex via our ClosedLoop Remanufacturing Scheme.

Today we are celebrating our customer Loughton Contracts Plc (working with Project Director Neil Grange) who took a massive step towards reducing carbon emissions by recycling 31,07 tonnes of used Proplex sheets that we recovered from 9,846 sheets supplied to The Broadway project. That’s over 164 m³ of waste diverted from landfill and waste to energy. To offset an equivalent amount of carbon, it would take 1,554 mature trees to grow for a year.

Protec is looking forward to working on more projects with Loughton Contracts Plc, making sure our work has a positive impact.

Our Proplex ClosedLoop Remanufacturing Scheme allows us to take back used temporary protection sheets we supply to our manufacturing and recycling centre where we can shred, wash, and recycle them before manufacturing them into new ProplexRE sheets, ready for use on-site again.

Each year before Christmas, the Protec team donates to The Wellspring in Stockport to buy homeless people a Christmas dinner.

The number of people who need help with their Christmas dinner has increased this year due to the cost of living crisis, and we can’t stand aside.

A donation of only £5 will provide a homeless person or person struggling with the cost of living a Christmas dinner and a gift on Christmas day.

Please join this appeal by donating here: https://thewellspring.co.uk/christmas-dinner-appeal/

Bricks need protection from the winter weather? Take a look at our BrickShields.

With more frost and snow coming, it may become a serious obstacle on the construction site when brick stacks become saturated with water. We recommend using our BrickShields to avoid the potential problem and to reduce the risk of accidents on site.

BrickShields keep brick stacks contained, preventing them from collapsing and causing injury whilst also protecting against frost, snow, rainwater, and efflorescence occurring.

Our standard range of BrickShield's come boxed in packs of 20. We also offer a custom printing service that enables you to print your brand logo or corporate message onto BrickShield's enhancing your brand image on-site.

To compliment our BrickShields, we also stock breathable and naturally biodegradable Hessian Sheets for protecting brickwork.

Both products are available to order immediately for same-day dispatch when orders are received by 5 pm.
