Demonstrating compliance
Dekura has launched a new certificate which can be used by window fabricators and installers to demonstrate their compliance with a raft of regulations governing responsible disposal of waste.
As an accredited and full member of Recovinyl, Dekura provides a complete recycling service with the capacity to collect and recycle both post-industrial and post-consumer waste.
The recycler has launched a new certificate designed to simplify and support its trade customers in demonstrating that in working with it, they are doing the same.
This includes meeting all current legislative requirements as set out in the Environment Protection Act and commitments made by the PVC-U industry in the Vinyl 2010 Charter.
Tony Moore, Dekura’s business development director, said: “It can sometimes be pretty difficult to keep up with environmental legislation, it changes regularly and as such it can easily trip up medium and smaller businesses that are probably juggling a dozen or more things at any one time.
“But the cost of not being up to speed can be significant. Some of this legislation has real teeth, for example the Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations: SI 1991/2839 carries significant costs for companies who breach it.
“We have also seen cases where installers and fabricators have fallen foul to the Advertising Standards Authority because a clear ‘gap’ has existed between green claims and actual environmental commitments.
“The Dekura certification scheme supports fabricators and installers in avoiding these pitfalls but also helps them to make the most of the positive sales messaging that a commitment to recycle off-cuts and end-of life PVC-U can deliver.”
