Co-extrusion Windows

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

This contractor sourced a supplier that produces co-extruded top-quality window profiles, enabling different PVC materials to be processed on the core of the profile and the outer skin. The use of recycled material means that valuable secondary raw materials can be re-used, which helps to reduce the impact on the environment.

The supplier is able to sort, shred, clean and prepare old windows on a material-specific basis. Their facility enables them to produce some 5,000 tonnes of recycled material per year which is then re-integrated into the production processes.

60% of the profiles are already being manufactured using recycled material. The proportion of recyclates used varies between 40% and 75%. This process produces 88% less CO2 during the production of recycled polymer compared to the production of new material enhancing sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.
