UPVC Windows & Doors Recycling

VEKA take pride in offering a uPVC windows recycling and uPVC Doors recycling service to home improvement specialists in the UK. We started our market leading initiative in the UK in 2007 and have been working to perfect our entire recycling process in the decade that has passed since. Typically, when uPVC products reach their ‘end of life’, they are thrown on the overstretched landfills. We sought to change that, valuing the material’s long lifespan and versatility, as well the lack of maintenance it requires. It’s simply too valuable to be dumped.

As a result, we worked to create our market leading closed loop recycling process for old uPVC doors. Once they have reached the end of their 30-40 year lifespan, we can shred and compress the materials into pellets. These can be extruded into uPVC which can be used in new high grade products. This process can be repeated up to ten times, meaning one window frame or door could be used for over 300 years. With this, we can realistically sustain the amount of uPVC in the UK indefinitely. What’s more, we use an environmentally friendly recycling process, from collection through to pelletising.

Here at VEKA, we take enormous pride in having perfected our closed loop recycling process for windows and doors. Our industry leading methods are allowing more and more home improvement specialists to begin recycling their old uPVC. Very little work is required at your end, making the whole uPVC recycling process easy and stress free for you. We handle the bulk of the process at our state of the art facility - shredding the batch before separating any other materials and colours and eventually pelletising.

Separate Any Glazing

Once we have worked with you to establish our best service for your company, you can start to collect any old uPVC windows and doors from installations. This can include any off-cuts from manufacturing you may have too. You don’t need to separate them by colours or remove any metal components either.

Separate Any Glazing

Once we have worked with you to establish our best service for your company, you can start to collect any old uPVC windows and doors from installations. This can include any off-cuts from manufacturing you may have too. You don’t need to separate them by colours or remove any metal components either.

Shredding & Sorting

Once back at our state of the art facility, we shred the uPVC windows and uPVC doors and off-cuts. From there, two separate stages will remove any magnetic and non-magnetic metals that may exist in the frame of the product. Once removed, a separation system will size reduce the pieces and then sort by colours.

Pelletising & Completion

Once the material is sorted, the uPVC is pelletised to produce contamination free pellets which can be extruded back into new products. Despite being recycled, the material will be just as durable as a new uPVC equivalent.
