Eurocell, the UK’ s leading manufacturer, recycler, and distributor of PVC-U building products, is expanding its waste PVC-U collection services through strategic partnerships with regional waste management firms and recycling specialists. By working with trusted industry partners, Eurocell is enhancing its commitment to sustainability, making it easier for businesses to recycle responsibly while supporting the circular economy.
Through these partnerships, Eurocell customers can now arrange for the collection and drop-off of waste PVC-U frames at designated sites across the UK. This service is designed to save businesses time and money by reducing the need for skips, eliminating trips to recycling centres, and providing a streamlined collection process directly from customer sites. The only requirement for collection is that the PVC-U frames are deglazed. The expanded service will be available in 116 Eurocell branches nationwide.

Sandra Gaspar, Head of Recycling at Eurocell, highlighted:
“ As confidence returns to the construction and home improvement market, we anticipate a rise in old PVC-U building products being removed from properties. Through our expanded collection services, we are making it easier than ever for businesses to recycle responsibly.
“ From councils and construction companies to demolition businesses and waste management firms, we must all work together to ensure as much waste PVC-U as possible is diverted from landfill.”
A Leader in Sustainable PVC-U Recycling
Eurocell operates the UK’ s largest PVC-U recycling network, with two dedicated facilities in Selby and Ilkeston. Through its closed-loop recycling system, Eurocell processes post-consumer and post-industrial PVC-U waste, converting it into reusable raw materials for manufacturing new products.

• In 2023 alone, Eurocell’ s recycling efforts diverted the equivalent of approximately 3 million window frames from landfill.
• The company’ s flagship Modus profiles are made with an average of 50 % post-consumer recycled PVC-U, reflecting Eurocell’ s commitment to sustainability.
• PVC-U is a highly durable material that can be recycled up to 10 times without compromising quality, with a potential lifespan of up to 200 years.
Eurocell’ s investment in recycling aligns with broader environmental goals, including the UK government’ s target to reduce direct emissions from public sector buildings by 50 % by 2032 and to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The company has already made significant progress, achieving 32 % recycled PVC-U in extrusion in 2023, up from 27 % in 2021.
