PVC-U products that won’t

Recycling for a sustainable future

With the increasing importance of environmental issues and subsequent government led legislation, including the essential new Home Improvement Packs (HIPS), green issues are top of the agenda for any responsible business.

At The Window Store we take our environmental responsibilities seriously making every effort to minimise the impact our business has on the environment. From supplying energy efficient products  to recycling old windows we are committed to the integration of economic, social and environmental factors in all elements of the business, from raw materials and manufacturing to installation and recycling.

As well as recycling our manufacturing waste we have now introduced a scheme to enable our customers to recycle their post consumer waste through Dekura, the UK’s leading PVC-u recycling organistion.

Recycling over 50% of available PVC-u waste in the British Isles Dekura are strongly established as the market (and technology) leader being the first company to recycle both post manufacturing and post consumer waste at their stat-of-the art recycling facility. 

We now have specially designed Dekura trolleys in our Torbay, Plymouth and Cardiff branches with several more soon to follow. These trolleys allow our customers to dispose of old PVC-u products including windows, doors, roofline and guttering. All they have to do is remove the glass and the state of the art facilities then separate out the hardware, reinforcement material and PVC-u. We offer this facility free of charge to our customers hence helping them save the environment and money.

By recycling old windows we are bringing thousands of tonnes of old PVC-u products back into use in more efficient and advanced products, instead of sending them to landfill. Via Dekura, The Window Store can maintain a continual recycling process giving each product a total lifespan of 400 years.
