RECYCLING & THE ENVIRONMENT
Your old windows don't go to landfill. They become new ones.
Almost every uPVC window and door we take out gets recycled, not skipped. We send it all to VEKA Recycling, where old frames are turned back into the raw material for new ones — so nothing's wasted, and nothing rots in the ground.
THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES
Why it's worth doing
10X
uPVC can be recycled up to ten times over without losing its strength or performance.
​
350 YEARS
Recycled that many times, a single frame's worth of material can stay in use for around 350 years.
0
The amount of your old uPVC we send to landfill. It all goes back into the loop.
​
HOW IT WORKS
From your old frames to brand-new ones.
1
We take it away
When we fit your new windows, your old uPVC frames and doors leave with us — no skip in your driveway, nothing for you to sort.
2
Sorted & Shredded
At VEKA's facility the frames are shredded, and metals, glass, handles and hinges are separated out automatically.
3
Turned to pellets
When we fit your new windows, your old uPVC frames and doors leave with us — no skip in your driveway, nothing for you to sort.
4
Made New Again
When we fit your new windows, your old uPVC frames and doors leave with us — no skip in your driveway, nothing for you to sort.
A Closed Loop
It's what's known as a closed-loop process — the material never leaves the cycle. An old frame becomes pellets, the pellets become a new frame, and one day that frame can be recycled too.
The longer those windows last, the less often new material is needed, and the less energy goes into making it. It's a genuinely sustainable way to deal with a material that would otherwise sit in the ground for decades.
OUR PART
A small thing we do as standard.
No extra cost, no extra fuss.
We don't make a song and dance about it or charge you for it — recycling your old windows is just part of how we work. It's the right thing to do, it keeps waste out of landfill, and it's one less thing for you to think about when you're having new windows fitted.
