Epwin Window Systems has renewed its VinylPlus Product Label certificate. The certification helps customers and specifiers identify PVC-U products that meet rigorous standards for responsible production, transparency and continuous improvement and applies across all the companyβs PVC-U system brands: Profile 22, Spectus and PatioMaster.
David Watts, Group SHEQ development manager at Epwin Window Systems, said:
βWe are delighted to have renewed our VinylPlus Product Label certification. It provides independent recognition of our sustainability credentials and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to responsible manufacturing. Sustainability is increasingly important throughout the supply chain, making certification like this a valuable differentiator for our customers.β
The certificate was presented to David at the VinylPlus Sustainability Forum 2026, which took place in Genval, Belgium, on 10 and 11 June 2026.
Epwin Window Systems was among the first companies to achieve the certification in 2018 and has maintained it ever since, underlining a long-term commitment to sustainable business practices.
Sustainability is said to be embedded throughout the companyβs operations, adopting a cradle-to-cradle approach. A zero-to-landfill policy ensures waste is segregated and recycled wherever possible, while waste PVC-U is repurposed into recycled composite materials for use in thermal inserts for outerframes, sashes, transoms and mullions.
The company also adopts a circular approach to product lifecycle management. At end-of-life, PVC-U products are recycled through group company Poly-Pure, with reclaimed material reprocessed into new building products manufactured across the Epwin Group.
In addition, Epwin Window Systemsβ products are designed to deliver high levels of thermal efficiency.
David concluded:
βOur sustainability journey is well advanced, but we remain focused on continuous improvement. Sustainability sits at the heart of our decision-making because, as a responsible business, we have a duty to minimise our environmental impact and help build a greener tomorrow.β
