What Does Our Window Recycling Scheme Mean For Your Customers?
At Sternfenster, we are committed to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. As a leading fabricator of windows and doors, we understand the importance of responsible sourcing and waste management when it comes to recycling aluminium and uPVC. That’s why we have partnered with Smart and Deceuninck for our uPVC and aluminium products and implemented a comprehensive window recycling scheme that benefits both our installers and the environment. Read below to learn more about our window recycling schemes and their benefits to your customers.
Why Should Your Customers Choose Recyclable Window Materials?
Recycling window materials like uPVC or aluminium is an essential practice for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. What would take years to decompose naturally is diverted from the landfills and given a new life. Most importantly, by doing this, we can reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. When recycled, aluminium and uPVC materials can be used to create new products, which in turn reduces the need for energy intensive manufacturing processes. It’s a small step that can make a big difference in mitigating climate change.
What Does Our Recycling Scheme Look Like?
• uPVC Windows
In line with Deceuninck’s sustainability commitment, we are offering sustainable uPVC windows, as well as door systems. They collect post consumer and manufacturer uPVC back into their recycling facility, which is then reused to create brand new uPVC windows without a negative effect on performance.
• Aluminium Windows
Responsibly sourced from our long standing partner Smart, our aluminim windows are 100% recyclable. What’s even better, Smart ensures that their aluminium recycling process uses as minimal energy as possible through renewable energy manufacturing & more than 24% of the recycled aluminium contributes to this manufacturing.
Benefits of Selling Recyclable uPVC & Aluminium Windows
1. Cost Savings
Alongside its crucial environmental benefits, our window recycling scheme can also save your customers money. Instead of paying for the disposal of their old windows, which will be transported to a landfill or a waste centre, where they decompose harmfully to our planet and cost them money, they will benefit from choosing leading suppliers of recyclable uPVC and aluminium windows.
2. Long Life Span
Our uPVC and aluminium windows have a product life of decades. So your customers won’t need to worry about disposing them for years to come. And when it’s time to dispose of them, they will feel the comfort of their fully recyclable window materials. Our uPVC windows, for example, can be recycled up to 10 times before they become unusable, meaning your customers will have one of the most durable windows on the market.
