VEKA Recycling

VEKA Recycling, the UK’s first PVCu recycling facility has grown into Europe’s most advanced Recycling Centre.

Our dedicated recycling facility, based in Wellingborough, processes end-of-life PVCu windows and doors with an annual recycling capacity of 25,000 tonnes. The average PVCu window has a lifespan of at least 35 years and can be recycled up to ten times – VEKA Recycling is effectively helping create windows with a 350-year lifespan.

Why choose PVCu

PVCu is a name everyone knows, yet what it delivers goes far beyond recognition. Resistant to rot, warping, cracking, and peeling, it provides long-lasting, low-maintenance solutions for windows and doors.

Highly energy-efficient and recyclable up to 10 times, PVCu offers a lifespan of over 35 years. With VEKA, PVCu isn’t just a material – it’s a trusted, high-performance solution that combines durability, style, and environmental responsibility for every project.

Energy Efficiency

VEKA systems are designed to keep spaces comfortable while helping to lower energy bills. Our frames rank among the most efficient on the market, always meeting, and often exceeding, regulatory standards.

VEKA produced the UK’s first BFRC A‑rated PVCu window. BFRC ratings are independently verified and demonstrate performance in retaining heat, reducing drafts, and maintaining indoor comfort. All current VEKA frames are tested and certified to meet applicable energy‑efficiency standards.
