Deceuninck Leads Responsible Resource Management
Deceuninck North America establishes itself as a leader in innovation within the window and door industry by embracing the latest technologies, innovations, and manufacturing methods. The organization produces profiles and extrusions for a variety of market segments, including residential, multi-family, and light commercial buildings that are designed to enhance the performance of a home or building; to reduce its overall energy consumption by decreasing thermal transmittance; and to serve as a viable, long-lasting solution.
Closing the Loop
Deceuninck employs a closed-loop recycling system within the production process to promote sustainability and resilience through its entire product line. In addition, the organization collects internal production and window fabricator scrap material, which consists of PVC waste generated during fabrication that is then reintroduced into the production process.
Carefully managed in a closed-loop environment, the material undergoes a reclamation process where the PVC is ground to small pieces of recycled PVC material. This material is then reused in the extrusion process as Deceuninck creates more products, which significantly reduces the environmental impact of the production process. By controlling the entire process within a closed-loop environment, Deceuninck guarantees quality and integrity of material.
