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.” veka-recycling.co.uk
