what we do at sustainable trade frames
Sustainable Trade Frames: Turning PVC Waste into Windows saving you money & helping the Environment.
" Sustainable choice for your pocket - still strong and Stylish for a greener tomorrow "
In an industry built on waste, it’s rare to find a product that turns that waste into something beautiful, functional, and genuinely sustainable. But that’s exactly what Sustainable Trade Frames does—transforming recycled PVC from skip and waste companies into high-performance, affordable window frames that meet industry standards and environmental expectations. If you’re in the skip and waste business, this is your chance to close the loop and profit from the very materials you help recover.
From Skip to Sash: The Circular Economy in Action -
Every day, skip and waste companies collect tonnes of discarded PVC old window frames, profile offcuts, and contaminated loads that most people assume are destined for landfill. But thanks to Sustainable Trade Frames, this material is given a second life. Their manufacturing process uses recycled uPVC, sourced directly from the waste stream you manage
This isn’t just greenwashing. It’s a genuine circular economy model. By partnering with recyclers and skip companies across the UK, Sustainable Trade Frames ensures that waste PVC is reprocessed, remoulded, and reborn as sleek, energy-efficient window frames.
The Best Industry Links Mean the Best Prices -
Let’s be honest price matters. And Sustainable Trade Frames knows it. Because they’re deeply embedded in the recycling industry, they’ve built the strongest supply chain links in the business, giving them access to high-quality recycled PVC at the lowest conversion costs. That means they can offer premium windows at prices that beat traditional suppliers, without compromising on performance with over " 20 years' experience in the industry making us the ideal choice"
Whether you’re a builder, installer, or homeowner, this is a win-win. You get windows that meet rigorous performance standards—including multi-chambered profiles for thermal efficiency and robust structural integrity—at a fraction of the cost of virgin PVC alternatives.
Why Recycled PVC Windows Are a No-Brainer -
If you’re in the skip and waste industry, you already understand the importance of recycling. But imagine if your business could do more than just collect and sort what if it could help create the very products that go back into homes and buildings?
That’s the beauty of Sustainable Trade Frames. Their windows:
• Reduce landfill waste by repurposing old frames and offcuts
• Minimise fossil fuel use by avoiding virgin PVC production
• Encourage recycling by creating demand for recovered materials
• Lower carbon emissions through energy-efficient design and manufacturing
And they do all this while saving customers money. It’s not just good for the planet—it’s good for business.
Built for Builders, Loved by Installers -
Sustainable Trade Frames isn’t just about eco-credentials. Their products are built to perform. Using advanced Greenline Profile technology, their frames feature 5-chambered mullions and 7-chambered sashes, delivering excellent thermal insulation and structural strength. That means lower energy bills, better comfort, and longer-lasting installations.
Installers love them because they’re easy to fit, reliable, and backed by a company that understands the trade. Builders love them because they tick every box cost, compliance, and sustainability. And homeowners love them because they look great and feel good to buy.
Made in Manchester, Trusted Nationwide -
Behind every Sustainable Trade Frame is a story of innovation and integrity. Founded by Ian Murray, a pioneer in uPVC recycling with over 20 years’ experience, the company operates from its factory in Manchester, where every frame is crafted with care and precision.
Ian’s vision was simple: make sustainable windows accessible to everyone. “I was frustrated that ordinary people who want to choose truly sustainable products often struggle to do this,” he says. “Specifiers, builders, and distributors often make the choice for what windows are used. I created Sustainable Trade Frames to help people make green, sustainable choices”.
That ethos runs through everything they do from transparent pricing to pressure-free quotes. No hard sell, just honest products that do what they promise.
