Environmental & Sustainability Policy

1. Introduction

At The Plastics Shed, we are committed to reducing environmental impact by promoting sustainable practices in the sourcing, distribution, and disposal of building plastics. We recognize our responsibility to minimize waste and encourage the use of recyclable and energy-efficient materials.

​

2. Sustainable Sourcing

We work with trusted manufacturers who prioritize sustainability and responsible material sourcing.

Our uPVC windows and doors are supplied by a Midlands-based manufacturer with over 40 years of experience in sustainable production.

The uPVC used in our products is 100% recyclable, ensuring long-term environmental benefits.

​

3. Recycling & Waste Reduction

uPVC can be recycled up to 10 times without losing quality, meaning a single frame could have a lifespan of over 200-300 years.

Our suppliers actively participate in closed-loop recycling, collecting and reprocessing end-of-life windows to reduce landfill waste.

Customers are encouraged to dispose of old uPVC responsibly, with many local refuse sites providing dedicated recycling skips for window frames and plastics.

​

4. Energy Efficiency Benefits

Our energy-efficient windows and doors help reduce heat loss, lowering energy consumption and cutting household carbon footprints.

The insulated properties of our products contribute to better thermal efficiency, leading to long-term savings on energy bills.

​

5. Responsible Packaging & Delivery

We aim to reduce excess packaging and work with suppliers to ensure that packaging materials are recyclable wherever possible.

We consolidate deliveries where feasible to minimize carbon emissions from transportation.

​

6. Our Commitment

We continually assess ways to reduce our environmental impact and improve the sustainability of our operations.

We actively support responsible consumer choices by offering eco-friendly alternatives in our product range.
