» WITH THE TRADING environment adapting to legislative and policy changes made earlier this year , Glazpart felt it essential to have a voice in discussions with the BPF and its member companies in the plastics manufacturing and supply chain to the construction sector .
BPF is the world ’ s longest established plastics trade association and has more than 450 member companies , representing over 80 % of the UK plastics industry by turnover .
On joining the BPF Moulders Group , Dean Bradley , Glazpart Sales Director commented ,
|
“ Whilst the Moulders Group offers to opportunity to network and understand wider industrial markets , whilst being part of the wider industry discussions impacting the plastics markets .”
In addition , to being part of the Moulders Group , Glazpart also intend to have an input to the BPF Windows Group . Dean Bradley explains ,
“ As the regulatory landscape has changed and continues to evolve , we see a clear need to present our concerns to key influencers in the plastics sector . We look forward to taking part in future meetings to discuss the impact of
|
the changes to the Building Regulations , “ Approved Document F ” regarding ventilation in homes .”
The revised “ Approved Document F ” aims to improve the standards concerning energy efficiency and air quality of a building . The amendments have also been designed to ensure that ventilation is not compromised in the drive to the Government ’ s net zero
|
targets , which aim to prevent energy loss from residential properties and minimise potential overheating risks .
This uplift in standards is expected to be followed by the planned introduction of the Future Homes Standard in 2025 . The standard is set to be the subject of a government consultation in 2023 .

Paul Atkinson , Managing Director of Yale , said : “ We have been big supporters of the Glazing Summit since the very beginning and are delighted to be headline sponsor once again .

|
sharing best practice . The fenestration industry has developed considerably in recent years but professionalisation is a continuous process which is why the Glazing Summit is so important .
