Loewen was the recipient of the Tree Canada Foundation Eterne Award, honoring us for “environmental leadership and commitment to taking action on global climate change through the planting of trees.” We recycle virtually all of the wood waste created in the manufacturing. We also recycle glass, aluminum, weatherstripping, solvents, motor oil and paper. And, during our frigid Canadian winters, we even heat our plant with sawdust and sell the remainder to local farmers for animal bedding.

We actively seek to reduce-reuse-recycle. We understand the real world dynamics of downcycling and so we aggressively design systems that are optimally efficient in consumption and produce windows of the highest quality, as to assure long product life.

To this end, our products are made to be repaired and can be removed and re-installed. Once again, product quality is at the crossroads of efficiency and responsible design.

By manufacturing wood windows and doors, we are using a renewable resource and an efficient natural insulator that will consume less energy than alternative materials in a home. And, because wood is the foundation of our business — everything that we do relies on this resource — we recognize that we must also replace this natural resource with new trees.
