will be from its energy efficient product ranges. It’s important that companies also consider the supply chain of products. National Ventilation is further aiming to minimise its environmental impact by working with its suppliers, partners, and the wider industry to tackle climate change, reduce waste and protect nature. With 800 colleagues across the group and many more working within its supply chain, the company is committed to helping the environment and promoting human rights, and seeks to ensure there is decent, fair, safe work for all, today and tomorrow.
Enabling customers to make sustainable choices when purchasing ventilation products, while still benefitting from great ventilation design and quality, is essential. When making the move to using recycled plastic, it’s vital that manufacturers learn how to work with recycled material, developing and manufacturing a robust product that performs to the same high standards as those made from virgin material, meeting all safety standards. The transformation from virgin to recycled plastic at National Ventilation followed significant R&D, including extensive material and product testing to ensure quality, as well as investment in specialist manufacturing equipment. This has allowed National Ventilation to produce products in recycled plastic without affecting the unit’s function or performance.

Recycled plastic
National Ventilation is committed to making a difference today and tomorrow by continuously improving its products’ energy performance, reducing waste throughout a product’s lifecycle, and significantly increasing the use of recycled plastic from the circular economy in the manufacturing of its products.
Within its product range, National Ventilation offers a wide range of rigid ducting, which is made from recycled plastic. Furthermore, the Monsoon Energysaver MON-MEV DC Multi Room Unit is now available in recycled plastic. The Monsoon Energysaver multi-room product is a mechanical extract ventilation unit, which has been designed for continuous extraction of stale air from separate areas around the home or
for commercial applications where a multipoint extractor system is needed, including toilets, changing rooms and cubicles.
National Ventilation’s popular Monsoon Shower Extract Fan Kits are also made from recycled material. Designed to make both electricians and electrical wholesalers’ lives easier, there is both an extract kit and extract kit with an energy-saving LED shower light. Allowing electricians to easily grab a kit and go, the Monsoon Shower Fan Kits incorporate everything required for a super-fast install. Both kits contain a 100mm UMD100T mixed flow in-line fan, 6m of PVC flexible ducting, an external fixed grille and cable ties. The Monsoon Shower Extract Kit also contains two internal diffusers, white or chrome, while the Monsoon Showerlite LED Extract Kit features an LED light and a choice of bezels, white or chrome.
By manufacturing ventilation units from recycled plastic through open loop recycling, National Ventilation is using a sustainable source of raw material; there is a reduction in the embodied carbon; it reduces plastic going to landfill; avoids the consumption of oil stocks; consumes less energy than producing new, virgin polymers; and follows sustainable values reducing human environmental impact. For wholesalers with consumer demand for sustainable products rising, now is the time to stock the products that allow their customers to make more sustainable choices.
