Green certificate

Profine has been awarded the VinylPlus Product Label, a sustainability seal for PVC building products.

Products that are characterised by high performance and sustainability are easily recognised by this certificate for end customers, manufacturers and markets.

Partner companies from the window and door sector can use the label to advertise Kömmerling profile systems and sheets, for example in tenders and to promote their green credentials to consumers.

The sustainability label was developed by VinylPlus, the European PVC industry’s voluntary commitment to sustainable development, in cooperation with BRE and The Natural Step (TNS).

Key requirements of the certificate include: the responsible procurement of PVC raw materials and additives; closed material cycles and recycling; a sustainable energy and climate strategy; and process management requirements.

Profine is authorised to use the VinylPlus Product Label in the European and UK sales regions, as well as for various products and systems in the area of profiles and sheets. To this regard, the label refers to the Profine production sites in Berlin and Pirmasens.

Dr Peter Mrosik, owner and CEO of Profine Group, said: “We have set ourselves the goal of aligning our entire company to a future worth living in, and we understand sustainability to be a holistic task: from using high-quality raw materials, the production of energy-efficient systems and extensive recycling up to the implementation of our corporate social responsibility. The partnership with VinylPlus and the VinylPlus Product Label fully underline this philosophy.”
