“Kier, and the Royal College of Art Project, are proud to be associated with Protec's Proplex ClosedLoop Remanufacturing Scheme. It is vital that we start changing the mindset and perceptions of the construction industry, not only in today’s environment, but for the future.”

The Royal College of Arts project represents a significant sustainability achievement for Kier and Protec, working in partnership to repurpose used protection boards through the Proplex ClosedLoop Remanufacturing Scheme.

Approach

Protec supplied ProplexFR temporary protection sheets to Kier for the Royal College of Arts project in London so they could effectively protect floors, walls and surfaces from accidental damage throughout the construction works.

Normally these sheets would be disposed of through the mixed waste stream going to either landfill or incineration.

By adopting the Proplex ClosedLoop Remanufacturing Scheme all the protection waste was uplifted from site and returned to our Sheffield plant where it was recycled and remanufactured into new temporary protection sheets ready to be used on site again.
