Thermoseal Group Goes Green

“Our driving ambition has always been to produce energy efficient products by energy efficient means, and our acquisition by Fenzi only strengthened this approach”, said Gwain Paterson, Thermoseal Group Managing Director. 

“One of the things that made the acquisition such an easy partnership was the strong emphasis that both parties place on sustainability, and therefore, it felt like the right time to celebrate this with an evolution of the Thermoseal Group brand identity, incorporating Fenzi into our logo, as well as accountability for our green initiatives.”

One such initiative is Thermoseal Group’s new Thermobar recycling plant. Situated at its Wigan factory, the recycling plant can handle all lengths of Thermobar warm edge, turning them back in pellets that can be reused in the manufacturing process. 

And with up to 20% of the recycled compound able to be added to the Thermobar production without any loss of performance, it has transformed the manufacturing of the industry-leading warm edge spacer bar into a zero-waste operation.

“As well as the significant landfill benefits that are generated by the recycling of the raw materials, the recycling plant is also powered by a Solar PV System that we installed last year, so we are minimising our emissions in the process”, explained Gwain.

The PV System now produces 420MW of electricity per year, greatly reducing reliance on the grid - approximately 15% of the power used at Thermoseal Group is generated this way.

And with Fenzi being recipients of the EcoVadis Silver Medal for its commitment to corporate social responsibility, as well as its ongoing Green Future code of practice, the acquisition looks set to continue to generate a plethora of green benefits for Thermoseal Group and its customers.
