ITP launches ‘Zero to Landfill’ scheme to recycle scaffold sheeting

A Yorkshire-based manufacturer has launched a new initiative to stop end-of-life scaffold sheeting ending up in landfill.

Industrial Textiles and Plastics (ITP) Ltd, based in Easingwold, North Yorkshire, has unveiled its Zero to Landfill programme in partnership with secure waste management specialist Avena.

The scheme allows customers to return used scaffold sheeting for environmentally responsible disposal through repurposing, remanufacturing, or energy recovery.

The move is part of ITP’s wider commitment to reducing carbon emissions and waste across the construction industry.

Carl Morse, Managing Director of ITP, said: “Around 350,000 tonnes of textiles are sent to landfill each year, producing more than 26 million tonnes of CO2. Construction is a major consumer of energy and raw materials, and we have a responsibility to do better.

Our Powerclad scaffold sheeting is made from 100% polyolefin, which can be diverted from landfill and reused or converted into energy. This programme helps our clients contribute to that mission.”

Under the scheme, Avena will collect scaffold sheeting from ITP’s customers, transport it to dedicated facilities, and track its disposal. Customers will receive certificates of destruction and detailed reports showing the carbon savings achieved.

“Around 350,000 tonnes of textiles are sent to landfill each year, producing more than 26 million tonnes of CO2.”

Recyclable material will be assessed by plastics reprocessing firm Vanden, which will match it with approved recycling partners in the UK and abroad.

ITP Sales Director, Matt Thompson, added: “Scaffold contractors and suppliers who participate in the scheme are not only helping the environment, but also gaining certified evidence of their sustainability efforts. This supports clients’ own environmental policies and reporting.”

ITP manufactures a wide range of protective construction textiles, including debris netting, sound barrier sheeting, insulated coverings, and printed scaffold wraps. All production is carried out in-house at its North Yorkshire facility.

The company says the Zero to Landfill programme reflects its ongoing aim to help drive sustainability across the supply chain.
