Products Manufactured with an Element of Recycled Materials For full information on our WRAP registered products please click here.
Many roofing and ventilation products currently produced by Hambleside feature recycled materials in their construction, a process which has been recognised by the Green Organisation and the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP). Specifiers, especially those for public sector new build projects, will be interested to learn that the Group’s tile roof ventilator range has now been added to the WRAP Procurement Guide for construction materials that incorporate recycled content and help to reduce waste. A list of the current range of WRAP registered products is available. Hambleside’s range of Stormforce 225 GRP Tile Valleys and Conti-Soaker are also in the WRAP Procurement Guide. The Group has submitted other products for WRAP registration. By recycling its waste Hambleside Danelaw has been able to substantially reduce the amount of materials that it sends to landfill, reducing operating costs and enhancing products. More and more local authorities are demanding that manufacturers’ increase the amount of recycled material used within their products and in many cases this is becoming paramount to their specification. By investing in this technology Hambleside Danelaw is ensuring that demand for its products will continue to grow, benefiting both the Group and its customers. The Group has been recycling plastic waste for many years but GRP is a different material requiring a different solution. The Group made a substantial investment in developing plant and equipment to allow it to begin to get a material from waste GRP which was suitable for recycling. As a result the waste production material can now be reused within the industry and although development work is ongoing great progress is being made. This work now gives Hambleside the ability to recycle its GRP products, rooflights, cladding flashings and the Dryseal flat roofing system once they have come to the end of their service life, again reducing land fill waste and costs and considerably extending the life cycle of a fossil based material as it may now be re-used.
