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
