KJM Update: How We Are Closing the Loop on Window Scrappage

The era of the skip is over. At KJM Group, we are proud to announce our commitment to the Circular Economy, ensuring your old windows find a new life, not a landfill site.

For decades, the industry standard was simple: remove old frames and dump them. But as we move towards 2025, we are taking a stand against construction waste. We have implemented a strict “Scrappage Protocol” for every installation in Andover and Hampshire.

What This Means For You: When we replace your windows, we don’t just scrap the old ones. We separate the glass, metal, and plastic.

Glass: Crushed into cullet to make new glass (saving energy).
Metal: Handles and hinges are melted down and reused.
uPVC Frames: These are sent to Recovinyl-certified facilities to be granulated and reborn.

Did You Know? Your old plastic frames can be recycled up to 10 times, giving them a potential lifespan of 350+ years.

By choosing KJM, you aren’t just upgrading your home’s efficiency; you are actively participating in a “Closed-Loop” system that reduces carbon emissions and prevents unnecessary waste.

We have just published a comprehensive guide on the science behind this process. Discover how recycled windows can actually be stronger than virgin plastic and see our full “Sustainability Showdown” data.
