Specific options for CO2 reductions
Helping you reduce your CO2 emissions
We're committed to reducing the carbon footprint of our products by offering specific options for CO2 reductions in 50% of our quotes by 2025. This commitment supports our customers in reducing their carbon emissions and helps us contribute to the global effort combatting climate change.
Some of the CO2-reducing options we offer customers include lowering material use, using more recycled/renewable material, and closing the waste loop by designing profiles that can be easily disassembled, recycled, or reused at the end of their life. We also promote conversion to plastic in CO2-efficient applications from a life-cycle perspective.
By 2030: 30% of our raw materials will come from recycled or renewable sources

Driving innovation in sustainable materials and designs
30% of our raw materials will come from recycled or renewable materials by 2030. This commitment will drive innovation in sustainable materials and designs, promoting eco-friendly materials with a lower environmental impact.
OUR COMMITMENT HERE INCLUDES:
- Collaborating with suppliers and customers to increase the use of recycled and renewable materials
- Partnering with customers, suppliers, peers, and recycling companies
- Developing designs that can reduce CO2 emissions, for example through lower weight and better insulation properties
- Advocating the use of safe and clean substances in virgin and recycled materials
- Engaging in partnerships and coalitions to increase plastic collection efforts
- Choosing suitable materials that can optimise the sustainable performance of the profile and of the end product
- Continuously exploring innovative and sustainable solutions at our Technology and Innovation Centre

Closing the loop on plastic waste
We're committed to collecting 50,000 tonnes of plastic waste for recycling in collaboration with external partners by 2030.
It's how we promote the circular economy and help close the loop on plastic waste in the environment so that valuable resources are reused and not wasted. We're implementing formal and systematic collection systems for discarded plastic from our customers and through third-party collaborations.
In partnership with PVC collection companies like Ragn-Sells, we're working to collect and recycle plastic waste. We aim to collect for recycling 50,000 tonnes of plastic waste by 2030, closing the loop and helping to ensure a sustainable future.
