Epwin Windows Systems has won the BPF Energy Award 2017 for the facility BPF/F00150 within the Climate Change Agreement.

The award was given in recognition of the company’s ongoing commitment to energy reduction throughout its Telford extrusion plant where all main profile systems are produced.

In previous years, the award was solely based around improvement in the Climate Change Agreement (CCA) Specific Energy Consumption (SEC). However, for the past two years the award has had a bias towards an absolute energy reduction criterion at facility level.

The award was presented by the pesident of the British Plastics Federation at the BPF annual dinner in October, which was held at the Lancaster Hotel, London and attended by 515 people from across the plastics industry.

Epwin Window Systems’ divisional operations director Andy Bevan said: “This award can be given to any business in the plastics industry sector so to win it is a significant achievement. As a business, we are totally committed to reducing our carbon footprint across all areas of the business, particularly our manufacturing processes. We look forward to continuing to drive forward in our commitment.”
