Newton’s pioneering recycling service has set a new benchmark for sustainability in waterproofing. By collecting and recycling cavity drain membrane off-cuts and packaging, Newton is reducing landfill waste and supporting greener construction practices.

How does it 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

Newton’s drivers collect membrane off-cuts and empty packaging from its nationwide network of Newton Specialist Basement Contractors (NSBCs).

Collections coincide with deliveries of new products, reducing the need for separate journeys and minimising carbon emissions.

Sorting and recycling

The collected materials are returned to 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.
