Practical guidance on recyclable scaffold wrap and modular covers - cut plastic use without compromising flame-retardant (FR) compliance or programme. Jump to Quick Guide
Shrink wrap is essential for weather protection and dust control, but it doesn’t have to create unnecessary waste. This hub brings together our latest guidance on more sustainable site practice - recyclable scaffold wrap, cleaner installation methods and practical take-back schemes. For modular projects, we cover recyclable modular covers for transport and storage, with tips to standardise sizes and cut down on off-cuts.
People often search for “biodegradable shrink wrap”; on live UK sites the compliant, real-world route is usually FR recyclable films paired with better planning and waste segregation.
