GGF & FENSA GLASS RECYCLING SCHEME GETS EVEN BIGGER
» FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH OF ITS pilot glass recycling scheme in March , the GGF and FENSA are pleased to announce an extension to the programme that will see companies in a significant area of the North of England and the Midlands , now able to take advantage of the resource . Chris Beedel , head of Advocacy & Stakeholder Relations at the GGF said : “ Both installers and homeowners want the peace of mind that they can recycle old products responsibly , but it ’ s not always easy to find a trusted partner .
“ Because our partners CNC Recycling are adding an operational hub in the North West , this will mean availability down to Stoke , across to Halifax / Brighouse , North Wales , Cheshire , and areas of Cumbria . Added to our existing programme .
“ The units for collection will need to be deglazed because they will be transported differently to the PVC-U frames , and there
is a minimum collection criteria of 20 frames / IGUs , but collection will continue to be free of charge if this criteria is met .”

Enhanced customer quality production reviews
» BEFORE THE PANDEMIC , ONE area where Edgetech ( a Quanex company ) offered outstanding customer service was through its regular customer quality production reviews – compulsory for members of its well-respected Super Spacer ® Dealership scheme , but freely available for customers who requested them .
Highly acclaimed by IGU manufacturers around the country , the quality reviews , carried out in person by experienced technical experts , had to stop during the pandemic .
Now , they have returned , with a new process that makes them quicker and easier than ever , as Managing Director Chris Alderson explains .
“ Our customer quality production reviews were a hugely valuable service , that helped both us and our customers ensure that Super Spacer ® was performing to an exceptional standard in millions of units around the country .
“ We ’ re delighted to be able to offer them again and to have significantly improved the process to make them even more convenient for our customers .
“ Thanks to a simple online checklist , our engineers can quickly establish whether any improvements are needed to ensure our spacers are delivering the best possible performance in finished units .”
