Domus Ventilation ducting to be manufactured with recycled plastic

UK ventilation manufacturer Domus Ventilation has announced that its ventilation ducting will now be manufactured primarily from recycled plastic. The company already uses 100% recycalate on its rectangular ducting and more than 95% of its fittings use 100% High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), which comes from post-consumer recycled plastic.  As part of the Genuit group, Domus Ventilation has now progressed to manufacturing its entire ducting range primarily from recycled plastic. This will make Domus Ventilation ducting one of the lowest carbon choices on the market. 

Product Manager Paul Williams said: “The built environment accounts for approximately 30% of annual carbon emissions in the UK.  While the lion’s share is generated in the day-to-day operation of buildings, carbon emissions embodied into buildings during manufacturing and construction are significant. As a manufacturer in the building sector, we fully accept our responsibilities. Using plastic that is destined for landfill, recycling it, and using it in our ducting is just one way we are making our products and manufacturing more sustainable. I would like to reassure customers that the quality of our ducting will not be affected by this.  While colour variation is to be expected, the form, fit, function and quality remains.” 

Domus Ventilation ducting is available as flat channel, round pipe, and Radial semi-rigid duct system and comes with a range of problem-solving accessories. It has been designed to work in harmony as part of a ventilation system and has been third party tested for end-to-end system performance.
