It's
a Green, Green World
Change may sometimes be a long time coming, but, when it does,
the pace of that change can sometimes be rapid, especially in business.
The latest example of this is the green bandwagon: after years of inactivity
in the UK, suddenly the environment is a political football and consumers
are actually more likely to buy products with green credentials.
And without being too cynical. I guess that's the point: it has finally become a selling proposition to the British homeowner in the way it has been in Germany for over 10 years. And if using a consumer fad to sell windows happens to coincide with saving the planet, all well and good...
So it is this week we learn that VEKA has set up a recycling facility in the UK for the first time (although initially the sawn up bits will be sent to the German plant for refining), and in addition to its existing PVC off-cuts collection and recycling service, L.B. Plastics has now become a Waste Licensed Broker, as well as being a licensed waste carrier.
Last but not least, don't miss our Special Features this week (under News): we have some very interesting information from Kate Ashley Norman in Turkey, where it seems there is a very real opportunity for UK window companies.
VEKA:

Bring
on DERs, says Rockdoor
It
is easy to see why so many companies
are jumping on the composite door bandwagon.
Composite doors are the next big thing
and the biggest area of growth is the
domestic retail market. But instead
of helping the market grow, many companies
are offering composite doors that undermine
price and value rather than a product
that offers homeowners performance and
value for money.
