Dekura launches comprehensive recycling guide
3rd November 2008

Dekura, the UK’s leading PVC-U recycler, has launched a new recycling guide to steer the social sector through the maze of site waste management and planning.
 
As the Government sets new targets for reducing the amount of waste going to landfill, social housing providers now have to tick even more ‘green’ boxes.    

Dekura is at the forefront of PVC-U recycling innovation and provides a comprehensive recycling service for both post-industrial and post-consumer PVC-U waste. The company is fully committed to its environmental responsibilities and is also a signatory to Vinyl 2010.

Tony Moore, general manager, Dekura, said: “Dekura has launched a new recycling guide to support the social sector tackle its site waste.

“Available to download at www.dekura.co.uk, the five-minute film gives a step-by-step guide to Dekura’s unique waste collection and recycling service as well as advice on how to implement effective site waste management plans (SWMP)s.   

“The short film also includes a practical case study to show how a large Housing Association in Manchester has already used the service to tackle post-consumer PVC-U waste and fully close the loop on the recycling process.”

As RSLs undertake more and more critical refurbishment projects, a larger volume of PVC-U waste is being generated but PVC-U is one of the most sustainable materials used within the building industry and is fully recyclable.

Tony said: “Dekura’s PVC-U recycling service can support the social sector manage its site waste effectively as well as hit strict new Government targets governing the volume of waste going to landfill.”

He added: “Dekura has brought back thousands of tonnes of waste PVC-U for recycling and leading systems suppliers are already bringing this recycled waste material back into use in a new generation of advanced, energy-efficient products. For the first time this is closing the loop on the recycling process.”
