iodegradable and actively absorbs CO 2 from<br />
the atmosphere; uPVC can be fully recycled and<br />
repurposed up to 10 times with no loss of quality<br />
or performance; aluminium is infinitely recyclable<br />
with 75% of all aluminium ever produced still in<br />
use today.<br />
“A sustainability strategy is necessary to be<br />
competitive both today and in the future”<br />
Glass is also a sustainable, fully recyclable<br />
material which provides great environmental<br />
benefits such as contributing to mitigating climate<br />
change and saving precious natural resources.<br />
And large-glazed areas, alongside their energysaving<br />
properties, also provide natural light into<br />
buildings which enhance the living and working<br />
conditions of occupants, with studies showing<br />
that glass in buildings, through all these benefits,<br />
contributes to people’s well-being and improved<br />
health conditions.<br />
It’s all part of the process<br />
Helping customers reduce their energy costs<br />
and their carbon footprint by offering the most<br />
sustainable, energy efficient home improvement<br />
products you can, should only be part of the goal<br />
– the other part is putting into place your own<br />
sustainable practices as a company to reduce<br />
your impact on the environment.<br />
While homeowners continue to demand more<br />
sustainable products, they are also demanding<br />
that companies carry out sustainable processes<br />
too.<br />
For example, installing air source heat pumps<br />
or solar panels to heat offices and showrooms,<br />
and purchasing electricity from suppliers who<br />
guarantee 100% green sources. Make sure all<br />
vans in your fleet comply with Euro 5 diesel<br />
emissions standards and are fitted with speed<br />
limiters to maximise the efficiency of fuel use and<br />
carbon emissions; and have specific facilities for<br />
the recycling of old PVC frames, glass and any<br />
other relative material.<br />
With an increasing amount of attention on<br />
the environmental impact of every business<br />
and industry, the sooner installers adopt such<br />
methods and show they are totally committed to<br />
using renewable energy and recyclable resources<br />
and materials, the better placed they will be to<br />
win work.<br />
