6 VEKA and the environment Did yo know... Over a recent three year period, VEKA redced its carbon emissions by 2,208 tonnes VEKA has long led the world in the environmentally responsible se of PVC-U, showing a real commitment to minimising its environmental impact at every stage from manfactre, fabrication and home energy efficiency to recycling. At or recycling plants we process old windows to sch a prity we can make new windows, rather than lower grade prodcts. We believe it is only tre recycling when it is a closed loop process, extending a window s life to a theoretical infinity. Or Infinity range of recycled profiles has notched p many environmental firsts of its own since its lanch in 2010, inclding it being the first recycled window to be retro-fitted into a home and the prodct of choice for the first Borogh in the UK to commit to all ftre replacement windows being recycled. We extend or environmental thinking beyond or prodcts too: all or transport rotes are careflly planned to ct mileage and redce emissions and all vehicles in or fleet are able to carry more prodcts than the indstry average in order to make every trip as efficient as possible. We constantly review the way we work and throgh varios energy saving measres in or prodction department, VEKA has recently saved 2,208 tonnes of carbon over a three year period. VEKA has also shown its commitment to the environment by being among the first in the indstry to throw ot lead stabilisers in favor of the Calcim Organic alternative, and is accredited to ISO (Environmental Management Systems Licence No EMS 59308). Virgin skin ensres perfect aesthetics on Infinity profiles VEKA's Environmental Firsts: VEKA created the indstry's first 'A' rated window in conjnction with a long-standing VEKA fabricator. Or Infinity system was the first recycled window system to be fitted into a domestic property and the first recycled system to be chosen for a large scale social hosing project. We were the first systems company to establish a closed-loop recycling system. The VEKA UK Grop has become one of the first major systems companies to be granted the new BRFC 'A+' licenses. The VEKA UK Grop is accredited with ISO (Environmental Management Systems Licence No EMS 59308)
