VEKA Recycling, VEKA plc’s dedicated recycling facility based in Wellingborough, has been confirmed as a key partner in the FENSA Recycling Scheme, supporting installers and fabricators with compliant, professional PVCu recycling routes.
Under the scheme, installers across the UK can access compliant PVCu window recycling through VEKA Recycling. Those located within 50 miles of VEKA Recycling’s Wellingborough facility benefit from convenient collections using VEKA’s dedicated fleet of vehicles, with free local collection available. PVCu frames can be collected glazed or deglazed, allowing installers to hand over units exactly as they are removed from the property.
The partnership has been designed to simplify waste handling while supporting installers in meeting their legal Duty of Care obligations. Every collection is accompanied by a compliant Waste Transfer Note, with installers also receiving an annual recycling certificate outlining the volume of material recycled and diverted from landfill. This provides clear, auditable evidence of responsible waste disposal.
The strengthened collaboration comes as the industry continues to highlight the risks associated with using unlicensed waste collectors. Installers remain legally responsible for their waste throughout the disposal process, and failure to use licensed, compliant services can expose businesses to fines, reputational damage and liability for fly-tipping. By providing a clear, professional recycling route, the VEKA Recycling and FENSA partnership offers installers a trusted alternative.
Kate Riley, Commercial Manager at VEKA Recycling, commented: “Installers and fabricators need recycling solutions that are practical, compliant and easy to trust. Our partnership with FENSA removes unnecessary steps from the process and gives installers confidence that their waste is being handled responsibly, with the right documentation in place.”
VEKA Recycling supports the fenestration industry’s move towards a circular economy by collecting and recycling end-of-life PVCu windows, with material reintroduced into the supply chain where suitable, helping to reduce landfill and preserve valuable raw materials.
Sam Davies, Commercial Manager at FENSA, commented: “Illegal waste carriers are a real problem for industry and society, with fines and prosecutions being handed to original owners of traceable waste. It is essential that installers are disposing of their waste responsibly through licenced carriers.
That’s why we’re excited and pleased to re-launch our strengthened recycling scheme where FENSA registered businesses can take advantage of free material waste collections. Not only saving on costs but doing their bit for the environment and avoiding the very serious consequences of illegal waste disposal”
For installers and fabricators facing increasing scrutiny around sustainability and compliance, the partnership reinforces that responsible waste disposal is an increasingly important part of professional installation and long-term business resilience.
