Double Glazing Recycling in Manchester
Here at the Window Co, we care about the world we live in. As your local double glazing installer, we ensure that we work with industry brands that not only produce the highest quality of double glazed doors and double glazed windows, but also how those profiles impact the environment.
We work with leading manufacturer Eurocell Recycle who have been helping to recycle windows and doors, ensuring that all uPVC products don’t end up in landfills and can help make the environment we live in more sustainable.
Sustainable uPVC Recycling
Last year, The Window Co helped to recycle over 26,000 tons of uPVC windows and doors that we had removed from properties in and around Greater Manchester. It’s true! The impressive recycling strategy allows old windows and doors to be recycled and turned into new profiles. This is an incredible way to help the environment and prevent them from appearing in landfills.
Did you know that when we recycle the old frames, this can be done up to ten times! So if we assume that a window or door has an average life span of 30 years per lifespan, this means that the materials of one window could last up to 300 years! If you want to help the environment, we can help you achieve that.
The Process of Creating Sustainable Windows & Recycled Doors
Do you want to know how your old windows and doors can be recycled? Firstly, our team will remove the old frames from your property in a prompt and efficient manner. The profiles will then be collected by Eurocell Recycle and taken to their factory facilities. The uPVC doors and windows are then shredded, granulated and micronised, making it easy for them to be extruded.
The broken down windows are then extruded by industry professionals, thus allowing them to be fabricated into brand new sustainable windows and sustainable doors which can then be installed into new homes.
What Are The Benefits of Recycling uPVC?
There are many reasons as to why recycling uPVC profiles is a great idea. The main benefit is that we’ll be greatly helping the environment by allowing every part of the waste to be recycled and reused as a part of a new window or door.
All of our recycled products are used in:
- Cills, beading & cavity closures,
- Guttering & drainpipes,
- Trunking & ducting
- Fencing & decking
- Underground Pipes
- Tubing
