Eurocell is the first systems house to incorporate Neovyn , a low-carbon PVC resin , into its premium window system , underscoring its continued commitment to sustainability .
Eurocell , the UK ’ s leading PVC-U building products manufacturer , distributor , and recycler , offers several advanced window systems . However , it has chosen its Modus windows and doors system - already the most sustainable in its range - to spearhead the journey to Net Zero for both Eurocell and its customers .
This new material not only reflects Eurocell ’ s commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of its products and advancing innovations in sustainable building products , but also marks an important milestone towards meeting both Eurocell ’ s , and its customers ’, legal obligations in sustainable building practices .
Modus , known for its energy-efficient profiles with U-values as low as 0.76 W /
|
m ² K , is the ideal choice for both new build and commercial sectors . This exclusive advantage also adds substantial value to the trade and retail sectors , supporting fabricators to provide a high-performance product that stands out in the marketplace .
Eurocell is absorbing the increased costs associated with the introduction of Neovyn , ensuring that these benefits come at zero cost to its fabricators , as it continues support for its customers and the wider supply market .
Additionally , with Eurocell ’ s world-class recycling facility located less than 10 miles from its main manufacturing site , the company can deliver a significant reduction on carbon emissions . This proximity not only enhances the sustainability of the Modus range , which contains the most recycled content within Eurocell ’ s product offerings , but also reinforces Eurocell ’ s leadership in the circular economy model and its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions .

Neovyn ’ s GHG ( greenhouse gas ) footprint is set at 1.3 kg CO2 eq / kg PVC , 37 % lower than the EU industry average , directly reducing scope 3 emissions for customers who supply and install the Modus system . The addition of Neovyn into the manufacturing materials doesn ’ t alter the ability to recycle the PVC-U profile at end of life .
“ By integrating Neovyn into the Modus profile , we ’ re able to offer a product that not only delivers on exceptional energy performance but also represents a substantial reduction in carbon emissions ,” said Darren Waters , Chief Executive Officer at Eurocell .
“ This marks a major milestone in our long-term strategy for sustainable innovation adopting low-carbon materials across our product portfolio . Neovyn exemplifies our commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering greener , high-performance building solutions .”
Key features of the Neovyn-enhanced Modus range include :
• Sustainability through innovation : Incorporating Neovyn in Modus profiles significantly reduces carbon emissions , supporting Eurocell ’ s shift toward more sustainable building practices .
• Exceptional energy performance : With U-values as low as 0.76 W / m ² K , Modus offers high energy efficiency , supporting

builders in meeting future energy performance regulations .
• Low-carbon PVC resin : Neovyn , produced with renewable energy and featuring a transparent supply chain , lowers the carbon footprint of the Modus range while preserving the same quality , durability , and performance .
• Contributing to the circular economy : This initiative is part of Eurocell ’ s broader commitment to sustainability , which includes recycling operations that help reduce demand for virgin materials . Ian Kernaghan , Head of Products , Design and Development at Eurocell , said :
“ Our integration of Neovyn into the Modus profile range is a result of thorough technical due diligence to ensure seamless performance and durability . This development represents an exciting leap forward for us , allowing Eurocell to further reduce its carbon footprint without compromising on the high-quality standards our customers rely on .”
Eurocell ’ s extensive PVC-U recycling program reintroduces post-consumer materials into its supply chain , reducing waste and conserving resources . As a leader in PVC-U recycling , Eurocell continues to pioneer sustainable building solutions while aligning with regulatory standards and minimising environmental impact .
