Environmental Commitment
PVC-U
is an inherently sustainable product. It has a durability far
in excess of timber – the BRE Green Guide says a PVC-U window
will last 35 years – and it can be recycled up to 10 times,
giving a total life of up to 350 years. Few building materials
have this versatility.
Swish is commited to PVC-U and has invested several million pounds in new technology that puts it at the cutting edge of the PVC-U sustainability agenda. Through our sister companies we have been long-established as the largest UK recycler and reprocessor of PVC-U post-industrial manufacturing waste. That material goes back into our products to minimise the volume of raw materials we consume.
Now our focus
is on post-consumer waste – recycling old PVC-U frames
ripped out of buildings at the end of their useful life. We
are also
working hard to increase the recycled content of each window
made using
our products. Innovations like RCM, our recycled alternative
to steel
reinforcement, and our new recycled PVC-U cavity closer for newbuild
increase the level substantial and put Swish products at the
very
cutting edge of the market.
