Why return?

By returning cuttings and surplus material, we ensure that the products are included in a circular cycle. By reusing the materials, we reduce both climate emissions and the consumption of non-renewable natural resources. This is a simple but important measure to ensure that products that would otherwise become waste are reused and contribute to a more circular economy.

The "ReShaping Plastics" report, published by SYSTEMIQ in 2022, confirmed circularity as the fastest, most affordable, efficient and reliable way to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions from the plastics system.

Furthermore, in the concept, Protan guarantees that roof membranes sold from August 2024 can be returned for recycling at the end of their service life.

What happens to the returned cuttings and surplus material?

The returned material is regenerated and reused in new products at our factory. Protan has established procedures across all its production facilities to recycle surplus materials into new products. In 2023, our roofing products consisted of 4.5-6.5% recycled surplus material, depending on the product and production site.
