Future-proof construction

The climate crisis and resource scarcity demand a rethink in how we build. At Derbigum, we believe roofs play a key role in the shift to a circular economy. That’s why we focus our innovation not only on better products, but on a new model of construction: where roofs are no longer the end point, but the beginning of reuse.

Towards 100% circular roofs

Novitumen® shows that 100% recycled bitumen is technically possible. But we’re not stopping there. We’re investing in even higher recycling rates, circular top layers, and roof systems where all components are designed for reuse. Step by step, we’re building roofs that are both future-proof and resource-friendly.

Our vision for tomorrow

Step by step, we are moving towards a future in which virgin raw materials are no longer needed. By continuing to innovate, collaborating with roofers and engineering firms, and actively testing in the field, we’re getting ever closer to a truly circular roof.

Building impact together

Circularity isn’t a solo mission. We actively work with roofers, engineering firms, distributors, and policymakers. We host demos, test campaigns, and knowledge sessions to accelerate market adoption. Because building a circular future happens together, one step – and one roof – at a time.

How circular is your roof? Take the test

Future-proof construction starts with the right choices for your roof.

Want to know if your solution is truly circular? This checklist will help you get started.

Recycled content
Does your roofing material contain recycled components? Can it be recycled again at the end of its life?
Proven lifespan
Opt for roofing materials with long-lasting durability and performance.
Guarantee
Choose products with the longest possible warranty and a long-term service life.
Take-back policy
Does the manufacturer commit to taking back and reusing materials at the end of their service life? That’s real circularity.
