Marketing and Communications Director at Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA)
"Six Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) members are working to create an industry-wide Life Cycle Assessment for the vinyl industry. Any producer of certified vinyl products will be able to use the LCA as an input for vinyl window and door product Environmental Product Declaration generation. Sixteen facilities are undergoing a four-week, 32-week process in which nine tasks will yield deliverables for a published EPD. These member companies represent more than 30% of the vinyl windows market, providing a good view of the whole, writes Janice Yglesias, FGIA executive director, on windowanddoor.com."
Sustainability and environmental responsibility have long since moved from being a “trend” to being just part of how business is done. And with vinyl windows claiming upwards of 70% of market share, it should stand as no surprise that the vinyl industry is taking a hard look at sustainability. Several efforts are underway to amplify its sustainable attributes, including an industry-wide Life Cycle Assessment, EPDs and exploring post-consumer window recycling in North America. https://lnkd.in/ekuzEVVK #vinyl #sustainability #recycling #nga
