Vinyl Solutions is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility within the decking industry.

With a steadfast dedication to minimising our ecological footprint, we have implemented a number of initiatives to minimise our impact on the planet.

Eco-friendly Materials

At Vinyl Solutions, we start with the basics. Our commitment to sustainability begins with the selection of eco-friendly materials contained across our products.

  • uPVC – The recyclability of our uPVC makes it a sustainable choice for various applications, especially in the construction and building sectors. When using recycled uPVC, you contribute to reducing the demand for virgin plastic and promote the circular economy, where materials are reused and recycled, ultimately reducing waste and environmental impact.
  • Composite – Our eco-friendly Composite Prime decking board uses the latest technology to create beautiful decking that not only has the natural look and feel of timber, but it also has the added strength and durability of plastic. It combines FSC® 100% certified hardwood timber and recycled HDPE plastic. In fact, 3,000 plastic bottle caps and 280 plastic milk bottles are recycled per square metre of decking.
  • Timber – Our primary timber suppliers are committed to carbon offsetting. In fact, they’ve taken decisive action towards offsetting the carbon generated from their customer deliveries by creating three forests, already planting over 300,000 trees.

Longevity and Durability

Our products are built to last. Our commitment to quality and durability ensures that our solutions remain in service for extended periods, reducing the need for replacements and conserving resources over time.

Wherever possible we also support our customers with the removal and refitting of their Vinyl Solutions decking on to new holiday homes if they move locations. Not only is this a cost saving option for the customer, it is significantly reducing wastage of materials.

Waste Reduction

Vinyl Solutions takes a proactive approach to waste reduction. Our streamlined production techniques and strict quality control measures ensure minimal material wastage. Moreover, we actively seek innovative ways to repurpose and recycle materials, reinforcing our commitment to a circular economy.

We also actively collect uPVC waste from a number of holiday parks for recycling back at our factory.

Energy Efficiency

We understand that energy conservation is paramount to preserving our environment. Our manufacturing processes are designed to be highly energy-efficient, minimising our carbon emissions. Lights on motion sensors are fitted throughout our factory and offices to ensure unnecessary energy usage.

We have also introduced a number of electric and hybrid vehicles in to our fleet operations, and this investment will continue as we look to further reduce our carbon emissions.

Recycling Programs

We are actively involved in recycling initiatives. Vinyl Solutions operates recycling programs that facilitate the responsible disposal of our products at the end of their life cycles.

This approach ensures that our products have minimal impact even after their useful life is over.

Supporting local initiatives

As part of our work with our chosen charity Julia’s House Children’s Hospices’ we look to support activities during the year to educate and champion ecological initiatives.

For example, each year we support the collection of used Christmas trees from residents across Dorset. Not only is this initiative raising funds for Julia’s House – the trees are also recycled.

Championing Staycations

As part of our support for the holiday park and leisure industry – we’re proud to champion holidaying in the UK.

As proud associate members of the British Holiday Home and Parks Association (BHHPA), we like to support the industry and help champion what the UK has to offer to holidaymakers – without the need for air travel and the associated carbon footprint.

Local Sourcing

To further minimise our carbon footprint, we look to prioritise local sourcing whenever possible.

By supporting regional suppliers and businesses, we reduce transportation-related emissions, thereby contributing to the sustainability of our communities.
