GOING GREEN
WHAT IS GREEN?
Tiltco is 'Going Green'! Tiltco is adapting its production and manufacturing so that there is less damage to the environment. This includes using non-toxic materials and eco-friendly production methods which creates an overall healthier atmosphere.
OUR STORY
Tiltco is committed to minimize any negative impacts of our production on the environment. In recognition for environmental management, Tiltco has implemented a recycling program for all aspects of our production waste, facilitating a wide range of technical items to be produced from recycled material. We are currently working with external recycling agencies to process our waste to make sure they do not end up in the wrong place.
By reducing toxins and wastes, Tiltco is helping to decrease our impact on Global Warming.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND uPVC/VINYL BENEFITS
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
uPVC/vinyl is made out of acquirable natural resources which, when compared to other raw materials, creates less stress on the environment and energy sources. Materials are harvested with far less impact on the environment compared to mining and logging. The manufacturing of uPVC/vinyl windows requires two-thirds less energy than aluminum windows thus reducing CO² emissions. This, combined with the lightweight of uPVC/vinyl, puts less stress on the transportation of goods which adds to harmful emissions. uPVC/vinyl windows are energy-efficient which reduces consumption of heating and cooling energy required by buildings, thus, reducing electricity costs.
BENEFITS OF uPVC/VINYL
uPVC/vinyl is one of the most efficient materials that can be used in manufacturing, especially of windows and doors. Below are 5 positive reasons why:
1. uPVC/vinyl requires less maintenance than traditional wood windows, which in turn minimizes the use of cleaning products that can have a negative effect on health.
2. uPVC/vinyl is deployed mainly from natural resources primarily refined oil products and salt.
3. uPVC/vinyl has the lowest production energy and raw material requirements and emissions of any window and door manufacturing process.
4. uPVC/vinyl can be recycled. Industry efforts have helped design equipment which separates vinyl from other plastics.
5. uPVC/vinyl is strictly monitored by manufacturing standards to continually eliminate the negative effects of vinyl production on the environment.
