The Swish 24/7 window system has introduced recycled composite material (RCM) reinforcements for its PVC-U window and door profiles, for both white and woodgrain outer frames and casement window sashes.

Manufactured from post consumer and post industrial waste, the new reinforcement provides a closed loop to the recycling process, offering better thermal efficiency and has a minimum life cycle of 35 years.

Closed loop recyling is a huge step forward in plastics recycling and we are right at the centre of this new technology. PVC-U windows which have reached the end of their useful life, along with profile offcuts, are processed into a raw material that can be used to make the reinforcement for a new PVC-U window.

RCM also has other benefits as well. The reinforcement has a thermal resistance of -0.17 w/mk, which is much less than steel or aluminium. This increases the thermal efficiency of the window, resulting in a better Window Energy Ratings (WER).
