Scrutineer Country

Suppliers within the PVC-u industry know they have a superb material in
terms of its thermal performance, longevity and maintenance but its
perception in terms of a positive environmental choice still needs
addressing. Over the last few years the industry has therefore invested
a large amount of resource into improving the recycling of PVC-u. The
starting point was always going to be the waste material generated
during the manufacturing process.

There is also much development work going into the recycling of the
frames when
they are replaced on site. However, the focus on manufacturing waste
meant that in
addition to improving the environmental aspect the industry was also
able to keep
costs down at a time when raw materials were spiraling in price.
Forward thinking players in the PVC-u industry have already implemented
ISO14001, the internationally recognized environmental standard. By
taking this a step further we have set up teams within our business that
focus purely on improving the environmental aspect of our operations
even further and a major area of this is in recycling polymer.
