RECYCLING PROGRAM FOR ALUMINIUM PANELS:
We believe in the power of recycling and haveimplemented a recycling program for our VitraDual®aluminium panels. Customers can return old ordamaged panels to us, and we will recycle thematerials, ensuring that resources are utilised efficientlywhere waste is minimised.
RE-PURPOSING ALUMINIUM PANELS INTO VITRAFIX®COMPONENTS:
In our pursuit of sustainability, we have developed an innovative process to re-purpose aluminium panels into parts for our VitraFix® range. By giving new life to these materials, we reduce waste and promote a circular economy.
CERAMAPANEL® FULLY RECYCLABLE:
Ceramapanel fibre cement can be recycled completely, thanks to specialist companies that handle the waste material.
