Window and door recycling

Recycling waste materials without compromising the technical performance of the end product is a valuable achievement. In the PVC industry, both the end of life and manufacturing process waste materials, are routinely recycled to eradicate any unnecessary waste.

Sheerframe window systems manufacturer L.B. Plastics has a policy of 100% recyclability of its customers' waste products, and its own in-house waste. This is processed at the company's recycling plant in Derbyshire. Co-extrusion of weather-seals and gaskets plays a major part in the 100% recyclability of Sheerframe products.

Being 100% lead free, calcium organic stabilised PVC, Sheerframe window systems offer a truly sustainable recyclable material with no risk of heavy metals - a closed loop safe composition PVC which is safe for post-life uses.

L.B. Plastics also subscribes to the Vinyl 2010 Voluntary Commitment to recycle the majority of post-use collectable frames.
