Award follows record recycling year
12th February 2019

EUROCELL has been named as the national winner of the sustainability category at the Future Manufacturing Awards for its ‘commitment to improving overall environmental performance and enhancing sustainability’.

Over the past decade, the system supplier has invested around £10m in its Eurocell Recycle facility, giving it the claim of the largest of its kind in the UK. It has prevented over 61,500 tonnes of end-of-life PVC-U ending in landfill and in 2018 alone, it recycled in excess of 1.2 million frames.

Head of marketing Chris Coxon, at Eurocell, said of the award: “We have invested heavily in our recycling facility in order to help improve PVC-U recycling rates in the construction industry. Having recycled a record number of post-consumer frames in 2018, it’s fantastic to see that our commitment to sustainability has been recognised with such a prestigious award win.

“We are proud to be playing our part in improving the sector’s sustainability record and recognition such as this gives us even more motivation to continue our efforts in 2019 and beyond.”

The FMA judges also recognised that Eurocell had provided recycling jobs to 110 people in the local area, including two apprentices as a result of its continued dedication to reducing PVC-U waste in the construction industry.

The Awards are open to manufacturing organisations and their supply chains across the UK. Judged regionally and nationally by independent industry experts and peers, they recognise those that demonstrate a commitment to the future of UK manufacturing.
