VIDEO SHOWS THE COMPLEX PROCESSES THAT ARE CONVERTING OLD WINDOWS INTO NEW
» VEKA RECYCLING HAS LAUNCHED a stunning new video that shows how its state-of-the-art recycling processing facility is playing its part in transforming end-of-life PVC-U frames into brand new windows and doors . The Wellingborough , Northamptonshire plant , which was completed at the end of 2020 after a two-year build at a cost of £ 15 million , is reputed to be the most sophisticated of its type anywhere in Europe .
The two-minute video is compelling and beautifully shot , with jarring images of waste being ground-filled , followed by sweeping views of a VEKA Recycling tanker wending its way through the countryside laden with tonnes of processed PVC-U pellet . Adding impact to the striking imagery are the mountains of frames at the five-and-ahalf-acre site being fed into the plant , with dramatic shots of the various stages of processing . “ We are immensely proud of what we have built here ,” said VEKA Recycling managing director Simon Scholes . “ After our plans to show people round were severely curtailed by Covid we decided to make this video , to ensure we can show the importance of recycling old PVC-U window and door frames , and how efficient our new plant is at doing so .
“ Whilst the UK is very good at recycling most of the old windows and doors removed from homes , there is still a significant volume that is unaccounted for . I am sure that many homeowners – and perhaps others in the supply chain – have no idea what happens to the old frames that are removed and this video will provide a compelling glimpse of what happens to them . And actually , that disposing of old frames using our slick , audited service , can be just as simple as dumping them . And much better for the environment and sales .”
