Recycling uPVC products

In the 21st century, recycling and sustainability are important considerations for everyone. Reducing our carbon footprint by leading a more eco-friendly life is something which we can all take steps to implement. At Chigwell Window Centre, we are passionate about recycling. With plastic products getting such bad press recently, we continually strive to recycle as much of our uPVC waste as possible.

100% recycled uPVC windows

uPVC may have a poor media image for sustainability but it is in fact a highly recyclable material. All our uPVC windows and doors are made from 100% recycled uPVC produced by the UK’s leading specialist in plastic recycling. In scientific tests, uPVC has been proven to be one of the most environmentally friendly construction materials in use today.

Despite using 100% recycled uPVC, our products do not suffer any deterioration in quality because of this. The recycling process does not disrupt the composition of the uPVC and all our windows and doors will still meet the rigorous requirements of modern industry regulations.

Embracing the drive towards a more sustainable society
