Operating from its Wellingborough facility, VEKA Recycling, part of VEKA plc, processes end-of-life PVCu frames back into pellet material which is then used to produce new, high-performance, energy-efficient window and door profile. Through this closed-loop system, PVCu products can be recycled up to ten times, significantly reducing waste and extending |
product lifespans up to 350 years.
The new direct feed system will streamline operations and reduce forklift traffic on-site, and a new unloading station will also be added to allow for flexible feeding or future bagging.
This enhancement is part of VEKA’ s long-term sustainability goals, specifically its 2027 ambition to boost efficiency and increase recycled content in their products.
|
Approximately 95 % of the PVCu waste collected by VEKA is recycled, with 60 % re-entering the market as new window products— demonstrating a successful circular economy in action.
Recycled materials are now central to VEKA’ s current and future product range. Innovations such as the ReCore Cill, featuring
|
a recycled core encased in virgin white PVCu and a 15mm frame extension made with recycled content are setting new benchmarks in sustainable fenestration without compromising performance or aesthetics.
