Anglian are very proactive with regards to recycling and sustainability issues, having recycled materials since the 1980’s.  Anglian has an approved Recovinyl Recycling Centre at its head office in Norwich. The company recycles on average over 800 post consumer windows every week in addition to manufacturing waste. The PVC-u is material is extruded by Anglian into new building products. Glass is either re-used by our glass supply chain partners or used in the production of roof insulation. And the reinforcement and hardware is processed by a local waste management specialist partner.

Anglian also recycles paper, cardboard, timber, glass, phones, printer toner cartridges.

Our products are designed with eventual end-of-use deconstruction in mind with different materials types being easily segregated. For this reason we do not co-extrude gaskets to our main profiles as this would degrade the quality of the recyclate. A number of our products have been designed to incorporate recycled materials in non-critical locations by using advanced co-extrusion techniques. The diagram below illustrates the typical uses.

Anglian are committed to reducing site waste sent to landfill and work with local Recycling specialists to achieve this goal.

The company is in the process of implementing an Environmental Management System based on ISO 14001. Download our Environmental Policy [PDF 966KB] or view our Environmental Brochure [PDF 1.53MB].
