Epwin Window Systems has successfully renewed its VinylPlus Product Label certification, reaffirming its commitment to sustainable manufacturing and responsible PVC-U production. The certification applies across the company’s complete portfolio of PVC-U system brands, including Profile 22, Spectus and PatioMaster, providing customers, fabricators and specifiers with independently verified assurance that its products meet demanding sustainability criteria for responsible sourcing, transparency and continuous improvement.

The renewed certification was officially presented during the VinylPlus Sustainability Forum 2026, held in Genval, Belgium, on 10–11 June. Having first achieved the certification in 2018, Epwin Window Systems has maintained the standard continuously, demonstrating a long-term commitment to environmental responsibility throughout its manufacturing operations.

Sustainability initiatives are integrated across the company’s production processes through a cradle-to-cradle approach. A zero-to-landfill policy ensures manufacturing waste is carefully segregated and recycled wherever possible, while waste PVC-U is transformed into recycled composite materials used in thermal inserts for outer frames, sashes, transoms and mullions. This strategy reduces material waste while increasing the use of recycled content within new products.

The company’s circular economy model also extends beyond manufacturing. At the end of a product’s service life, PVC-U frames are recovered through Epwin Group company Poly-Pure, where reclaimed material is processed and reused in the production of new building products, reducing reliance on virgin raw materials.

David Watts, Group SHEQ Development Manager at Epwin Window Systems, said the renewed certification provides independent recognition of the company’s sustainability achievements and serves as a valuable differentiator for customers.
