Environmental Credentials

At GJB, we take our environmental credentials seriously.  Sustainability is a key part of our business and we aim to reduce energy usage and recycle waste to minimise our impact on the environment.

We are proud to have been awarded ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management by BSI.   In order to get this award we reviewed all aspects of our business with regard to environmental credentials.  We introduced measures across all aspects of the business to reduce our energy usage and waste.  In our offices and factories we use low energy lighting and ensure it is turned off when not in use.  We plan all deliveries to ensure the best route is chosen to deliver to multiple customers on one journey.

Closed Loop Post-Consumer Recycling

Off cuts of uPVC are collected in the factory for recycling so that none of our uPVC waste goes to landfill.  The uPVC is collected by our suppliers, then granulated and cleaned before being extruded into brand new uPVC.

The term ‘closed loop’ means that recycled uPVC is manufactured into new products.  The recycled uPVC is actually stronger than the original product and can be used up to 10 times without any deterioration in quality or performance.  This is a truly sustainable solution to waste.
