Transforming Waste into Sustainability: The GGF Recycling Schemes

Environmental Hub, Members News, News, Recycling | 13.03.24

Let’s talk about the power of Recycling…

It’s no secret to anyone that recycling is a key component in safeguarding our environment and resources; so when GGF Members join hands with the GGF Recycling Schemes, your business can make a difference to your own and our industry’s carbon footprint.

In a bid to revolutionise the way we handle old windows and doors, the GGF Recycling Schemes have emerged as a beacon of sustainability for GGF Members across England, Wales, and Scotland. This initiative allows members to seamlessly request a collection service for their outdated uPVC, Aluminium, Timber, and Glass structures, paving the way for a greener future.

What sets the GGF schemes apart is its flexibility. Members opting for a uPVC collection can conveniently include glass units in their request, streamlining the process and ensuring a hassle-free experience. The beauty of the GGF Recycling Schemes lies in the simplicity of being able to choose a collection date and time that suits your convenience, making the entire process a breeze and saving you valuable time.

Partnering with industry-leading recycling companies, the GGF Recycling Schemes not only facilitate the removal of old frames and offcuts but can also provide a valuable resource for expert advice on sustainable practices for Members.

By sorting out recyclables, we’re giving these materials a fresh lease on life. This not only eases the burden on landfills but also elongates the lifespan of raw materials, which will foster a more sustainable and circular economy.

If we work together to turn recycling into a rewarding and convenient habit, we can pave the way for a brighter, greener tomorrow!

Landmark Art Deco building in Malta fitted with new Clement steel windows

Members News | 07.03.24

The Brewhouse, formerly known as Farsons Brewery was one of the first and finest examples of concrete-reinforced Art Deco buildings on the island of Malta. The building was founded and designed by Lewis V Farrugia and William Binnie and originally opened 73 years ago in June 1950.

Now a Grade II listed building The Brewhouse has been part of a €86 million redevelopment project, reimagined by world-renowned London based ritchie*studio. Covering over 7,000 sq m of industrial space, the building now includes a unique mix of office, food and beverage, retail, visitor experience, and events space over seven floors.

In a building of such historical and architectural significance the new windows not only had to look as close to the originals as possible, but also meet stringent requirements for thermal efficiency, as the building was designed to meet the strictest of environmental codes. Clement was thrilled that over one hundred white Clement EB24 steel framed windows were specified, featuring T bars and multi point locking.

Robert Abela, the Prime Minister of Malta, was among around 400 people who attended the inauguration ceremony of Trident Park and The Brewhouse, one of the most iconic regeneration projects in Maltese history.

ritchie*studio director, Ian Ritchie said: “Clement Windows provided the perfect steel window profile and workmanship solution to help restore this beautiful and iconic Maltese industrial Art Deco building.”
