Recycling Website Gets Refresh
as Plant Build Continues
» » USING FRESH PHOTOGRAPHY AND
graphics, VEKA Recycling’s new website
presents the role in the reprocessing of virgin
offcuts and post-consumer and industrial
end-of-life windows and doors and how
the company is highly adept at working
with fabricators and installers to turn waste
products into new. Crucially, through the
website VEKA Recycling emphasises just how
simple the company makes it for old frames
to be recycled, for the increasingly important
benefits to the environment of course, but
actually as a sound business proposition
too.
VEKA Recycling’s Managing Director
Simon Scholes says: “The founder of
VEKA, Heinrich Laumann, used his vision
and determination to create the first plant
dedicated to the recycling of PVC-U
and associated materials in Behringen,
Germany in 1993. Our new plant being
built at Wellingborough extends that vision
and the website not only brings to life
VEKA Recycling’s philosophy, but also the
practicalities of how we work with fabricators
and installers to make the most of PVC-U as
a sustainable resource.”
