Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Fatra continue with their environmental innovations with the launch of the company’s new recycling plant at the factory. Using unique technology the recycling process does not use harmful chemicals but instead has a specially designed mechanical system which separates the membrane from other components and produces pellets of pvc that are then introduced back into the manufacturing process.

New Fatra membranes will contain differing amounts of recyclate depending on the membrane manufacturing process and the amounts of recyclate available.

This adds to Fatra’s existing environmental achievements which include the award of ISO14001 Environmental Management which in the case of Fatra covers the entire process from the design and manufacture of the raw pvc pellets to the final membrane. Fatra’s Building Research Establishment (BRE) Eco-points score is now being reassessed taking into consideration the recycling process.
