“A rigorous quality control process ensures a high-quality finish is achieved every time.”
140 years. A rigorous quality control process ensures a high-quality finish is achieved every time. Products that don’t come out as desired can easily go back through the recycling cycle again. For more than 75 years, Marshall- Tufflex has been pioneering plastic extrusion and led the way in product research, development and innovation, especially when it comes to using recycled material. They have successfully manufactured cable management made of recycled PVC-U for over 20 years. To do so, they use ‘post-industrial waste’ windows (waste windows from window fabricators) or ‘post- consumer waste’ windows (windows that have come out of buildings at the end of their useful life). Because windows are designed to withstand external elements, they obtain a raw material that is more robust and of higher quality than virgin PVC. Dan Fisher, Managing Director of Core Ireland, confirmed, “We have worked closely with our recycling partners over the past years to produce a sustainable, recycled material ideal for manufacturing cable management products. Consequently, our focus has been on quality and testing to maximise the recycled content, which also improves the quality of our
products. It’s a programme that has worked extremely well, and so we are very proud to now be using such high levels of recycled material.” Towards sustainable cable management specifications Last year, Marshall-Tufflex was able to use 74% recycled material across their PVC-U product range. The manufacturer is currently working towards encouraging more industry players to contribute to taking the stance of manufacturing/specifying/ installing PVC-U cable management with a minimum content of 50% recycled plastic. Dan commented, “We hope our drive to encourage the market to use products with a high recycled PVC content will encourage other manufacturers to up their recycling and reuse efforts. If more cable management producers and suppliers joined us, we could double or treble that amount, which would make a terrific impact on the environmental performance of our sector and contribute towards a circular economy.” Core Distribution is proud to support this initiative and calls on specifiers and contractors in Ireland to help drive up the sector’s eco-credentials by integrating plastic recycling to their specifications.
