    What DPM products do you use? Can you recommend any with green credentials, such as high percentage of recycled material?

    Visqueen Ecomembrane, 100% recycled with factory in the UK. Look no further.

    I did some work in relation to Ecomembrane a few years ago and thought you might like to know that it is made exclusively from “post-use” waste (material such as supermarket carrier bags). Its performance is said to exceed that of some membranes made from virgin LDPE (low density polyethylene) and it was also designed to be puncture resistant. EcoMembrane was the first DPM to be made from 100% post-use consumer waste and was the first to contain no factory reprocessed waste. Given that every tonne of virgin LDPE produced uses nearly 1.8 tonnes of crude oil I think that puts its eco-credentials into perspective.

    Hope that helps
