Closing the loop with ProCycle 

One of the most important achievements is the approval for incorporating recycled material from end-of-life roofing membranes into new products. This is enabled through Protan’s ProCycle initiative, where used roofing membranes are collected, processed, and reintroduced into new production. 

With this updated approval, the circular loop is no longer just an ambition — it is documented, approved, and ready to scale. This is believed to be a world first within the roofing industry. 

A step forward in sustainable roofing 

In addition to enabling circular material use, Protan SE now includes updated, more sustainable high-performance formulations. This means customers can choose a solution that combines: 

  • Proven durability and fit-for-purpose performance. 
  • Documented fire resistance. 
  • Reduced use of chemical additives, following recognised bestpractice principles for safer and more sustainable material choices. 

A more robust and resilient supply chain 

The updated approval not only ensures consistency and reliability – it also strengthens our supply chain to the benefit of our customers: 

  • Greater supply flexibility, reducing dependency on single sources. 
  • Simplified planning and production, enabling smoother scheduling and higher line utilisation. 
  • Improved delivery reliability, supporting consistent output and better customer service levels. 

This is a great achievement — and a true result of strong cross-functional collaboration. It positions Protan to meet growing expectations for circular and climate-conscious solutions

The milestone reflects close cooperation between R&D, production, and supply chain — and demonstrates how circular innovation requires alignment across the entire value chain. 

Raising the bar for the industry 

With this updated SINTEF approval, Protan continues to push the boundaries of roofing membranes — combining documented performance with scalable circular solutions through ProCycle.
