NEW SUSTAINABILITY BROCHURE HIGHLIGHTS CRADLE-TO-CRADLE APPROACH
» EPWIN WINDOW Systems has published a new eight-page sustainability brochure that highlights its environmental commitments throughout the business ; cradle-to-cradle approach to the sustainability of its multiple systems .
Epwin Window Systems is the only UK-based PVC-U systems company certified to the requirements of BES 6001 : Issue 3.0 . This demonstrates the company has ensured – and can prove – that its products have been made with constituent materials that have been responsibly sourced .
As further evidence of its sustainability commitment , it was the first UK-based systems company to achieve the VinylPlus ® Product Label , the scheme that makes it easy for customers and markets to identify the most sustainable and high-performance PVC-U products .
Phil Parry , Business Development Director , said : “ We have a long track record of commitment to the environment . Back in 2009 we were the first UK systems company to offer a 100 % recycled window . But our progress to date is just the start . We have well-developed and impactful programmes in place to continue to reduce our carbon footprint and enhance sustainability across all our activities , products and processes . We have aligned our operations to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and are developing an Environmental Social Governance framework and targets . In short , here at Epwin Window Systems we ’ ve made a commitment to a greener tomorrow .”
The company has a zero to landfill policy . Waste management processes are designed to segregate waste at source and all waste from its site is segregated and sent by registered waste carriers for recycling . Waste bar lengths are recycled into RCM ( recycled composite material ) for use in thermal inserts for outerframes , sashes , transoms and mullions .
In use , all Epwin Window Systems products have been designed to maximise thermal efficiency and meet and exceed regulatory requirements . This helps specifiers , contractors , fabricators and installers to meet environmental targets – and give end users low maintenance products that help create thermally efficient homes .
The new sustainability brochure is available to download from the company ’ s Connect digital portal .
