Recycling & Reuse

JELD-WEN’s commitment to resource-responsible manufacturing is rooted in our beginning. Historically, netting full utilization from a log simply made good economic sense. Almost 40 years ago, JELD-WEN perfected a proprietary process for using wood waste to make facings for our Molded interior doors.

Today, JELD-WEN uses recycled materialsRecycled MaterialsOne way JELD-WEN supports sustainable construction is by using recycled materials in the production of our wood composite garage doors. In fact, each one features Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) certified facings and trim boards made using 80% recycled content. to produce high-value windows and doors every day. Our window glass and cladding contain post-consumer recycled content. Our vinyl windows and patio doors feature up to 15 percent recycled vinyl content. We have also earned thirdparty certification through Scientific Certification System (SCS) of products made from recycled wood.

• FiberLast® Engineered Composite exterior doors have earned SCS certification for recycled content.

At every opportunity we will encourage our customers to minimize the use of wood pallets and to recycle the packaging material used by JELD-WEN for our window and door products, including cardboard and plastic wrap.
