A concept that has been perfected to preserve the natural resources by working in 3 convergent directions:

• Ensuring the ongoing improvement of the window system’s performance providing thermal insulation which reduces on energy consumption and improves sound insulation.

• Recycling the basic raw materials (PVC-u, glass and steel) by reusing them in the production cycle –thus improving efficiency by using less raw materials and energy.

• Optimising the use of raw material components; the end product is more refined which ensures longevity and increases the life-span of the PVC profiles.

Partners of the initiative dispose of

off-cuts and other profile waste in allocated onsite cages.

Once the cages are full they are collected by Recycline lorries.

The lorries then transport the waste to Penfold Plastics where the PVC-u and rubber is ground into granules.

The granules are then put through a machaine to separate the PVC-u granules from the rubber.

PVC-u granules are then transported back to Germany to be reprocessed into PVC-u.

Kömmerling is carrying the green issue even further as it continually strives to offer products of an exceptional quality whilst at the same time honoring its responsibility as a market leader to protect our environment.
