Environmental Impact Overview
At Proteus Waterproofing, we demonstrate our commitment to reducing environmental impact through product development, material recycling programs, and operations that reduce environmental impact.
Our approach balances environmental responsibility with waterproofing solutions across all market sectors.
Product Environmental Performance
- We provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for many systems, allowing architects to assess environmental impact using EPDs during material specification
- We develop infrastructure solutions like living/biodiverse roofs and attenuated blue roofs that actively support urban biodiversity and stormwater management
- We incorporate recycled materials into product formulations, with recycled content detailed in product specifications where applicable
Operational Initiatives
We maintain paper/cardboard recycling programs and reuse packaging materials to minimise waste. Our automated warehouses designed to reduce energy consumption optimise logistics efficiency, reducing supply chain emissions.
Performance-Driven Environmental Management
Our quality control processes ensure product lifespan as per tested performance, minimising replacement cycles and associated impacts We deliver contractor training programs to support proper installation and extend system lifespans as per design specifications
Certifications
- The majority of our systems carry British Board of Agrément (BBA) certification, independently verifying our environmental and performance claims.
- ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems
- ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems
Through this integrated approach, we position ourselves as providers of waterproofing solutions that directly address environmental challenges in construction.
