As the world's natural resources start to come into short supply, all raw materials — including uPVC — are becoming more and more valuable. Now is the time to make significant changes to the way we live and the impact we have on the environment.
Britelite Windows are already making that step. By teaming up with VEKA Recycling, we are able to recycle your old uPVC windows and turn them into new ones without any loss of quality.
Thanks to its supreme versatility and durability, uPVC has long-been the most popular material as a casing for double glazing windows, doors and conservatories. As a result, uPVC now commands more than a 50% share of the window market. What's more, the material is incredibly recyclable, which means that even at the end of their life, old double glazing products can still contribute to the well-being of the planet.
In addition, Britelite Windows operate a window scrappage scheme that pays you up to £75 for each window that you recycle, meaning you could save money on your next installation, while making a positive impact on the environment. We are one of few companies who offer the window scrappage scheme after a nationwide proposal by the government was recently thrown out.
VEKA's main recycling centre in Germany has been certified by the TÜV Technical Inspection Agency, which means there is a 100% certainty that any disposal is line with environmental considerations.
The fully automated processes at VEKA's recycling facility transform existing windows into 100% pure uPVC by a state-of-the-art shredding, extraction and separation process. The final product is then ready to be re-used in the production of further uPVC products.
