‘Closed loop’ recycling award
11th October 2016

CMS Window Systems has won the award for ‘Best Circular Economy Initiative’ at the Scottish Resources Awards.

CMS was presented with the award at a ceremony in Edinburgh this week, in recognition for its work to ‘retain the value of objects, by making things last and as a result helping conserve finite resources, support jobs and improve quality of life’. This is a key priority for the Scottish Government and for the awards organisers, the UK trade organisation for the waste management industry, the CIWM.

CMS operates with a commitment to ‘closed loop’ recycling, which ensures 95% of waste is directed away from landfill every year.

All windows and doors extracted as part of CMS’s refurbishment contracts, including multi-million pound projects for local authorities and housing associations, are separated into their component parts at one of its two dedicated recycling plants in Cumbernauld and Kirkcaldy.

Andy Kerr, Managing Director at CMS Window Systems said: “It’s fantastic to win this award as it recognises our hard work for something that underpins our whole business, recycling and re-use. Materials like PVCu, aluminium and glass are so straightforward in terms of recycling providing you have the right processes and supply chain partners in place, and as a business we’ve never lost sight of how important this is to give our customers the most sustainable doors and windows.”
