At Cara Glass, we are proud to say that we use Eurocell Recycle as our preferred recycling partner through 2021. Comparing this 2021 to 2020s 9.32 tonnes of recycled uPVC, we recycled 15.12 tonnes of material; in perspective 15 tonnes is roughly equal to 2-3 Tyrannosaurus Rex’s or 5 blue whale tongues! It’s important to note that we dedicate our time to the environment. We want to be as eco-friendly as possible through our range of window products.
Eurocell Recycle is the UK’s leading specialist in uPVC recycling, collection and extrusion. They have a closed-loop recycling system that takes old uPVC systems and recycles them into new plastic products – giving them a new life to use once more. This doesn’t just stop uPVC windows from being dumped into a landfill but also creates a new and eco-friendly style window. Due to us working in a sustainable way, Cara Glass strive to use environmentally friendly techniques whilst reducing our carbon footprint as much as possible to ensure our valued customers that they are investing in a company that cares.
Throughout previous years, the home improvement industry has found sustainability quite hard due to the rare opportunities for recycling. Although, Eurocell has allowed Cara Glass to reduce the amount of waste created by old windows, doors and other solutions. We are determined to create as little waste as possible that ends up in landfills, we are helping the world become more eco-friendly one step at a time.
