We provide excellent employment opportunities at our PVCu division of Elixir. We collect and prepare PVCu window frames and doors ready for refining to various grades of granules and fine powders which are used to manufacture new windows, doors and other plastic products. This saves hundreds of tonnes of plastics from landfill every month. Not only does this save our environment but it creates real job opportunities for those people who find themselves with barriers to employment.
