Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia celebrated Global Recycling Day on 18 March 2026, reinforcing its position at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing.
Vent-Axia’s pioneering transition from virgin to recycled plastics across its product range. This commitment was recognised in September 2025 when Vent-Axia was named Best Ventilation Brand of the Year at the Electrical Wholesaler Awards, with judges impressed by the company’s groundbreaking initiative to transition from virgin to recycled plastic in its manufacturing, alongside its wider sustainability commitments that are helping lead the industry.
Vent-Axia is committed to reducing its environmental impact and its strategy focuses on three pillars: Product – Engineer Sustainable Solutions; Planet – Improve Environmental Performance; and People – Connect People Together. Recycling plays a core role in this vision.
Vent-Axia’s Group’s sustainability targets include reaching 75% of sales revenue from low-carbon products and for 90% of the plastic it uses in its own manufacturing to be from recycled sources. Vent-Axia has led a groundbreaking shift transitioning from virgin to recycled plastic in its manufacturing. Overcoming industry challenges, the company invested heavily in R&D, developed strong supplier partnerships, and created an industry-first materials database for recycled plastics, facilitating third-party product certification.
“Global Recycling Day provides an important opportunity to highlight the role our industry must play in reducing environmental impact. At Vent-Axia, our transition from virgin to recycled plastics is not just an innovation milestone, but a fundamental shift in how we design and manufacture products for a low-carbon future. By embedding circular economy principles into our processes and continuing to invest in sustainable materials, we are helping customers reduce their carbon footprint while driving long-term change across the ventilation sector,” said Joe Brawn, product and marketing director at Vent-Axia.
