Old plastic windows, shutters, and doors contain valuable materials, particularly PVC, which can be recycled up to seven times without losing its performance qualities. This ensures consistent quality, stability, and weather resistance, adding significant value to recyclable PVC.
By recycling plastic windows, we conserve resources and reduce environmental impact, cutting down on both energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The recyclability of modern plastic windows, combined with their numerous product benefits, makes them an increasingly appealing and sustainable choice for the future.
One of the most important properties of uPVC window profiles is their recyclability. With an average lifespan globally of 40 years, aluplast systems are 100% recyclable and profiles can be recycled up to 7 times without losing any of their performance characteristics. aluplast is the first and only uPVC system provider in Australia to provide an in-house recycling programmed to our network, where crates are collected from our customers every week and returned to our modern Dandenong South facility to begin the recycling process. The recyclate is then shipped to Think Fencing in Portarlington to be upcycled into fencing, seating and more.
Ensuring offcuts from the manufacturing process are diverted from landfills is of the utmost importance to aluplast and starting this programmed in Australia means uPVC is not wasted and remains in the material cycle, which protects the environment. The excellent recyclability, the low embodied carbon and the combined reduction in energy use over the life cycle of the product make uPVC one of the most sustainable materials for windows.
