Our profiles can be 100 percent recycled and this can be done up to seven times without the material quality suffering. A closed recycling loop allows the recycled material to be used again
and again. Recycling contributes to promote conservation and carbon reduction, making our modern hitech windows not only functional but also environmentally friendly. Our system house supplier, aluplast, were a co-founder of Rewindo and are members of EPPA and VinylPlus. apCycle is the aluplast recycling division and certified waste management company.
We attach great importance to high-quality and sustainable products, also directly in our company. We focus on environmentally friendly production and recycling processes and obtain our energy from renewable sources such as solar energy, wind power and biomass. We are constantly looking for ways to make our production more environmentally friendly and contribute to sustainability.
The consistent use of recycled products across all profiles is paramount and we currently average 30% recycled material which is targetted to increase to 50% over the next 3 years. The increased glazing platform allows better U Values.
