UPCYCLING INSTEAD OF DOWNCYCLING
INSTRINSIC VALUES ARE WHAT REALLY MATTER
Old uPVC windows are up to 100% recyclable, which is why Salamander consciously uses recycled materials to produce energy-efficient high-performance profiles from old windows. The recycled material is integrated into the profile geometry using a special CoEx process. Depending on the window system, a Salamander window profile can contain up to 50 % recycled material.
Did you know? Salamander is a founding member of Rewindo, the window recycling initiative, and an active member of VinylPlus, the voluntary sustainable development association for the European uPVC industry.
FACTS ABOUT THE SALAMANDER RECYCLED CORE
/// No negative impact on excellent profile quality
/// Maximum performance
/// Use of high-quality recycled granulates in the inner core of the profile
/// Better homogeneity of the recyclate mass for optimised profile properties
/// Modern recycling process without loss of quality
/// Technically mature manufacture
/// The material has a higher impact resistance due to renewed plastification
/// Corner strength of the profile is maintained
/// All environmentally relevant limit values are complied with
RECYCLATE VS. NEW MATERIAL:
SUPERIOR ENERGY CONSERVATION & CLIMATE PROTECTION
/// uPVC profiles are recyclable up to seven times
/// Sensible return of old windows to a closed recycling system
/// Unique recycling concept for the profile industry
/// Resource efficiency: Reduction of the consumption of raw materials
/// Saving primary energy for the production of uPVC
/// Reduced CO2 emissions
/// Combines environmental protection with high quality & design standards
