Sustainability overview
Eurocell is committed to operating a sustainable business and building a reputation for being a truly responsible company. We aim to lead the fenestration sector in sustainability and are focused on reducing our carbon footprint, valuing and supporting the wellbeing of our people, and improving the environment in which we operate.
Our Group purpose is to create sustainable building solutions for the trade of today, the homes of tomorrow and the environment of the future. Circular economy principles lie at the heart of our strategy and our operation, as we recycle old PVC window profiles into new products. In addition, we aim to reduce our environmental impact via energy saving initiatives and waste management schemes whilst, generating savings for our customers through products that minimise heat loss and lower energy bills. We endeavour to provide an excellent, safe workplace for our colleagues and to ensure they feel supported and valued. We will continue to play an active role in our communities and being a good neighbour.
We are proud to be the leading UK-based recycler of PVC windows. Our extensive recycling capacity sits at the heart of our operations, our sustainability strategy, and will be critical to our Net Zero ambitions. Our recycling operations process post-industrial and post-consumer waste into recycled material, 62% (2024) of which is then used in our own operations to produce our products.
Most of the remaining by-product is scrap metal, which is sold to metal recyclers, with very little sent to landfill.
2024 highlights:
- 32.9k tonnes of post-consumer waste and 8.5k tonnes of post-industrial waste recycled
- 18.0k tonnes of recycled materials were used in manufacturing our rigid PVC profiles, and 7.3k tonnes used in 100% recycled products or sold to trade extruders
- Recycled PVC represented 32% of total raw material consumption
