Environmental Responsibility

For 30 years we have committed ourselves to manufacturing the most durable, longest lasting windows and doors in the industry. But we know that our products are more than just frames and glass – they are truly your windows to the world. While our quality components and stringent manufacturing processes keep your windows looking beautiful, our environmental practices help ensure your view remains just as striking.

Whether it’s through our recycling programs or our lean manufacturing initiative, we strive to conserve precious resources and eliminate waste at all levels throughout our organization.

All of our products are designed with conservation in mind. Our energy efficient line up helps you reduce your heating and cooling costs year round, saving you money while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Each of us must do our part to reduce our environmental footprint. Over the past several years, we have instituted numerous projects under the umbrella of our green initiative. Here are some of the highlights:

Cardboard
All cardboard is currently recycled and is used in the production of cellulose fiber
insulation and other consumer goods.

Polyurethane Insulated Door Panels
The cut-outs from all polyurethane insulated door panels are currently recycled for a
variety of insulation applications in the agricultural sector.

PVC
Thanks to the tireless efforts of our staff and a major investment in infrastructure and cutting edge technology, All Weather Windows is proud to announce that we are now recycling more than 2,000 lbs of PVC each day at our Edmonton manufacturing facility.

In fact, using our state of the art process we're able to recover 100% of the PVC waste created during manufacturing, salvaging high quality, usable plastics that would otherwise be discarded.

The recovered vinyl is then reprocessed into a variety of consumer goods, including PVC deck and fencing products.

It's just one of the ways we're working to reduce waste at all levels throughout our organization.

Lean manufacturing
We utilize Lean Manufacturing processes in our plant to increase the overall efficiency of our manufacturing operations.
• Lean Manufacturing reduces our overall energy consumption which is environmentally responsible.

Heating
The waste heat from our heat ovens (which are used to make sealed glass) is utilized to heat our manufacturing plant, which reduces our overall energy consumption.

Lighting
We are in the process of upgrading all lighting in the manufacturing plant to high efficient lighting in an effort to reduce our overall energy consumption.
All scrap metal is currently recycled.

Wood
We are embracing a number of procedures to reduce the overall wood usage classin our manufacturing facility not directly related to the production of our wood window products.

When you do business with socially responsible companies like All Weather Windows, you’re doing your part to help protect the planet for generations to come.  After all – what good are windows if there is nothing to see?
