Veka Recycling Ltd, has announced it is investing £8 million in the construction of a new plant dedicated to recycling PVC-U window and door profiles. Located at Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, the facility will accept and convert UK virgin and end-of-life windows into re-usable polymer. This is reported by Plastics News Europe .
“This is a real-world commitment by the VEKA Group towards the UK and recognition of the continued importance of the market post-Brexit,” commented Cattini in a press release.
At the new plant, PVC-U profiles will be returned, processed and re-manufactured into new products, including window profiles, cills and trims and also a range of products as diverse as cable management and construction products.
Rubber, metals and other impurities will all be separated from the PVC-U to enable re-manufacture as part of the most sophisticated process of its type installed anywhere in Europe. The combined capacity of the three plants will exceed 100,000 tonnes of PVC-U windows a year.
According to commercial director Simon Scholes, the Wellingborough plant will be built from scratch to take advantage of the latest recycling technologies. “We will have the ability to promote and deliver PVC-U windows as truly sustainable at a time when plastic generally is under close scrutiny and to make the most of what is a tremendous resource,” he added.
