Summary:

What to do with windows at the end of their lives is a tricky business as they are difficult to recycle. Wyndwood is a leading manufacturer of windows and doors, active in several European countries, which offers windows made of wood as well as aluminum-clad ones. The company has embarked on an ambitious sustainability journey in recent years. One particular challenge they face is what happens to windows when they are no longer in use. These normally end up in landfill. Wyndwood takes product stewardship and extended producer responsibility seriously and wants to find a solution that works for them, the environment, and other stakeholders, including their direct customers-commercial buyers in the form of construction companies and hardware store chains. It is not an easy journey, as Arvind, the firm's sustainability coordinator, is experiencing-join him here as he opens the door to more sustainable windows. Students will have the opportunity to recommend what he should do to ensure Wyndwood deals with old windows in a sustainable way.
