Window replacement on the Nordic market can be certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. The service must include the entire process from initial inspection of the existing windows to the final approval of the installation of the new windows. In addition, the service must include all window replacements conducted by the company.
A Nordic Swan Ecolabel window replacement contributes to a circular economy and reduced climate impact. It meets strict requirements for the whole life cycle of the service, including recycling of the glass in existing windows and doors, mapping of hazardous materials, handling of construction waste and the quality of the window installation.
The requirements include:
- Recycling of the float glass in existing windows and doors into new window glass. This contributes to circularity, reduced depletion of virgin resources and significantly reduced climate impact.
- Identification and correct handling of harmful substances in the existing windows/doors and installation materials.
- Replacement of the existing windows with at least 80% Nordic Swan Ecolabel windows to ensure high energy performance and low environmental impact*.
- Sorting of the main fractions of waste generated during dismantling and installation.
- Quality control of the installation of the new windows.
- Environmental properties and health properties of chemicals in new installation materials. This applies to construction materials (e.g. insulation, tapes and sealing strips) and chemical building products such as sealants.
