MORLEY GLASS NAMED GGP INSTALLER AWARDS FINALIST FOR GLASS RECYCLING SERVICE

Uni-Blinds® integral blinds manufacturer Morley Glass has been shortlisted for the ‘Best Installer Support Programme or Service Initiative’ award in the 2023 GGP Installer Awards.

The company, which is the UK’s largest manufacturer of IGUs complete with ScreenLine® integral blind systems, is in the running for the award for the free service it offers to installers and fabricators to help them save money on waste disposal costs, while at the same time raising money to improve the environment.

The service involves Morley Glass collecting the post-consumer glass that installers remove as part of window replacement work, and crushing this at its in-house recycling plant, before sending to Saint-Gobain Glass for the manufacture of new glass.

The service is free to installers and fabricators because the glass cullet produced through the crushing process is a valuable raw material in its own right. In addition, Morley Glass delivery vans are on the road delivering Uni-Blinds® integral blind units to customers across the UK every working day, so they are ideally placed to collect waste glass from installers rather than returning to the Leeds HQ empty.
