At Deceuninck, we see things big. Being a leader in the PVC circular economy, we opened one of the world’s most advanced PVC recycling facilities in 2012 in Diksmuide, Belgium. Input material is being sourced from customers’ off-cuts, mainly of first-generation PVC windows which consumers are gradually replacing.
With a capacity of 40,000 tonnes, Deceuninck Recycling is the largest of its kind in the Benelux, for rigid PVC. In the sixties, Deceuninck started designing 100% recyclable products. Today, we transform recycled material into new window systems without any loss of quality.
For the main material, PVC, we use a mechanical process in which the waste is washed and reduced multiple times into smaller particles. Because we use the latest technology, we can recycle PVC profiles of all colours and all different compositions, including profiles containing glass fibre.
The resulting recyclate, called granulate, is reused as PVC material into the same product from which it came: window profiles. Because we use old materials instead of virgin raw materials, we need only 10% of the energy which is required to make a window from virgin materials.
