OUR SERVICE
As a leading recycling company with multiple locations across Surrey and London, we are committed to ensuring our uPVC recycling process is as environmentally friendly as possible, ensuring your waste uPVC materials are disposed of in a safe and sustainable manner.
Whether you are a home improvement specialist, demolition contractor, waste management company or a local tradesman, we can provide a simple solution for all your uPVC recycling needs, with our purchasing team making sure the process is as smooth as possible, from collection all the way through to recycling.
OUR PROCESS
Our strict uPVC recycling process ensures there is full traceability of all the plastic waste we buy. All commodities collected are ethically and sustainably reused, with start to finish paperwork to prove your plastic waste has been responsibly recycled and diverted away from landfill.
Once the uPVC frames have entered our facilities, the process can begin.
1
The uPVC is shredded down to sub 70MM in size. This allows us to separate metals and non-metallic materials like rubber, glass, zinc and steel from the uPVC.
2
Next our state of the art system sorts the uPVC into different colours and finished categories. This allows us to control the quality of the pellets we produce.
3
The pellets are then shipped off for their final process to extruders around the globe to be manufactured back into new uPVC products.

uPVC is an acronym for Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride.

Yes, uPVC can easily be recycled.

- Why is uPVC recycling important?
uPVC recycling plays an important role in preventing waste uPVC from ending up in landfill.
By recycling uPVC windows, doors and frames, waste uPVC is successfully diverted away from landfill and reused in the production of new uPVC products, giving the waste uPVC a whole new lease of life. This in turn, helps reduce carbon emissions and lower energy consumption.
- What does uPVC recycling involve?
Once the waste uPVC has entered our recycling facilities it is shredded into tiny pellets. This process allows us to remove unwanted material like rubber and metal. From there, the uPVC is sorted into different colours.
After the pellets have been sorted into the various colours and categories they are finally ready to be shipped off to uPVC manufacturers to be used in new products.
