Eurocell calls on industry to review PVC-U recycling

Eurocell is attending this year’s Resource & Waste Management Expo (RWM) and is calling organisations across the construction supply chain, from councils to waste management businesses, to review their PVC-U recycling to minimise waste being sent to landfill.

Eurocell has secured a significant space at the show, located on Stand RS-F82 opposite the Circular Economy & Sustainable Theatre. Here it will demonstrate to visitors its closed-loop recycling system and showcase the substantial progress it has made in using recycled materials in the design and manufacture of its PVC-U building products.

Speaking ahead of the show, which takes place in Birmingham at the NEC from September 11th12th, Sandra Gaspar, Head of Recycling at Eurocell, explains why a collaborative approach right across the construction supply chain, is the only way the industry can continue to make progress on recycling PVC-U. She said, “As confidence returns to the construction and home improvement market, it means we should see an increase in activity and therefore a rise in old PVC-U building products being removed from properties and in need of recycling. Now is the right time for organisations to review their recycling processes for PVC-U.”

“We need to work together to save waste PVC-U going to landfill, helping to reduce CO2 emissions and the impact of our industry on the environment. This includes from councils, construction companies and waste management through to demolitions businesses, commercial contractors and even skip hire companies.”

Eurocell facilitates efficient PVC-U recycling for window and door installers and fabricators as well as other building and construction businesses all over the UK.

It offers reliable and timely collections from any premise or UK site and ensures that PVC-U waste is managed responsibly. The service includes all aspects of waste management, from collection and transport to documentation, with waste transfer notes provided to demonstrate responsible handling.

Sandra adds; “PVC-U can be repurposed up to 10 times without compromising its quality. It’s an impressively durable and long-lasting material, and as an industry we need to recycle as much as we can. Eurocell is well placed to support the industry in its efforts.”

Eurocell’s dedication to sustainability is demonstrated through its innovative manufacturing processes, where its profiles division blends raw PVC resin with recycled materials sourced from the company’s cutting-edge recycling plants located in Selby, North Yorkshire, and Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
