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.

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.

L.B. Plastics also subscribes to the Vinyl 2010 Voluntary Commitment to recycle the majority of post-use collectable frames. In 2005, this surpassed the 50% mark.
