Will the GGF Proposed National Scrappage Scheme Save our planet?
The Glass & Glazing Federation (GGF) has recently petitioned the government to introduce a National Window Scrappage Scheme. The GGF is the recognised leading authority for employers and companies within the flat glass, glazing, window, home improvement, plastics and window film industries and is the primary trade association for companies that make, supply or fit flat glass and related products representing more than 60% of the industry’s turnover.
The GGF also provides information for homeowners, professional specifiers and anyone seeking professional and unbiased information on any aspect of glass and glazing in the UK. The GGF is a great promoter of energy efficient glazing and the GGF’s Carbon Calculator enables homeowners and others to see how much money and carbon can be saved by installing new Energy Efficient Windows.
