VEKA Recycling is an industry leader in recycling ‘end of life’ uPVC windows and doors, offering a reliable, cost-effective and long-term service that you can depend on. We work with window fabricators and installers, as well as waste companies throughout the UK to ensure that valuable uPVC material is not lost to landfill.
We use our innovative recycling process to close the loop on uPVC recycling. This means that old windows and doors can be recycled and extruded into new windows and doors that boast the same standard of quality as the ones previous.
We are committed to the sustainability of our environment. We have worked meticulously to ensure that every stage of our closed loop process is an environmentally friendly as possible. This is what separates VEKA from the competition.
