Veka Recycling has launched a new video to show its new £15 million Wellingborough recycling processing facility and how it is playing its part in transforming end-of-life PVC-U frames into new windows and doors.
The two-minute video contrasts jarring images of waste going to landfill, followed by sweeping views of a Veka Recycling tanker laden with tonnes of processed PVC-U pellet, alongside mountains of frames at the five-and-a-half-acre site being fed into the plant.
Managing director Simon Scholes explained that the idea for the video came after Covid curtailed plans to show guests round in person.
He continued: “Whilst the UK is very good at recycling most of the old windows and doors removed from homes, there is still a significant volume that is unaccounted for. I am sure that many homeowners – and perhaps others in the supply chain – have no idea what happens to the old frames that are removed and this video will provide a compelling glimpse of what happens to them. And actually, that disposing of old frames using our slick, audited service, can be just as simple as dumping them. And much better for the environment and sales.”
