Door manufacturer JELD-WEN has been awarded Cradle to Cradle certification for doors created at its factory in Penrith. Recognised as a leading third-party certification for sustainability, the robust Cradle to Cradle Certified standard is awarded to products that meet the circular economy requirements and can be recycled or reused.
The Cradle to Cradle Bronze level certification applies to all non-glazed doors produced at the factory, including moulded hollow doors, plywood hollow doors and moulded fire doors.
Meeting all five categories of the standard to achieve Cradle to Cradle Certified status – material health, product circularity, clean air and climate protection, water and soil stewardship and social fairness – the award reflects JELD-WEN’s commitment to sustainability.
Steps introduced at the company’s Penrith site include switching to electric vehicles, using renewable energy, adding sensors to taps, using FSC-certified and sustainable timber, using waste to power biomass boilers, and installing more efficient manufacturing systems.
This has been supported by an ongoing commitment to employee equality and supporting wellbeing – such as investment in health and safety systems, mental health support, and supporting flexible working policies wherever possible.
Marcin Bacik, EHS Manager at JELD-WEN, said: “Securing Cradle to Cradle certification for doors made at our Penrith site is a huge accomplishment and demonstrates our commitment to taking direct action to support sustainable building design, and helping to reduce waste associated with construction and the built environment. We are incredibly proud of securing this certification.”
