Sustainability
Liniar is committed to the protection of our planet. This is why we work hard to ensure we send zero operational waste to landfill, create fully or partially recycled products, design energy efficient and eco-friendly products and continually work towards the smallest carbon footprint possible.
a circular economy
Liniar has been a zero production waste facility for three decades, having created its plastic piling range specifically to utilise any scrap PVCu generated when products are changed over on our extrusion lines. Having the lowest scrap rate in the industry at <2% demonstrates Liniar's commitment to operational efficiency, with all scrap going back into the system to create fully or partially recycled PVCu products.
Sustainability at a glance
Did you know?
Liniar actually recycles a whopping 4 billion gallons of water each year right here in its purpose-built, underground water recycling facility. Residing underneath the extrusion hall, the vast water tanks pump water up to cool the molten PVCu as it travels through the extrusion machinery and is returned to the tanks to be cleaned and reused.
continuous improvement
With an internal cross-functional team focused on environmental initiatives, Liniar has made many changes on site over the last 10 years. In addition to replacing all light bulbs with energy-saving LEDs, packaging materials have been reviewed and reduced, with recycled products used wherever possible. Solvent use has been eliminated within the Lamination department, with water-based primers now utilised. Carbon-balanced paper is used in brochures and an onsite clothing recycling bank enables employees to bring in unwanted clothing, with the proceeds going to charity.
a bright future
In 2024, Liniar is undertaking a project to add Solar PV to all of its facilities' roofs. This is estimated to reduce the energy usage on site by around 30%, and Liniar's new warehouse (due for completion in 2025) will further increase the solar coverage and reduce energy consumption.
Liniar designs and tests products, extrudes the PVCu profiles and delivers them to independent specialist manufacturers and resellers all over the UK. You can find your nearest with a simple postcode search.
