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 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.
