Environmental Commitment

The Andersen Corporation’s heritage, including its subsidiary Renewal by Andersen, LLC., includes a long-standing commitment to leadership in environmental stewardship and manufacturing energy efficient products. This commitment is exemplified in the design, craftsmanship, durability, and quality of our windows, and has grown from generations of employees striving to be smarter, different, and better in the way we use natural resources.

Energy-efficient windows are critical to keeping utility costs low. Having properly insulated windows helps your home stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer and reduces use of natural resources, Not only do you stay more comfortable in your home all year long, but you can help keep your corner of the world just a little bit greener!

Environmental Commitment

The U.S. Department of Energy states that improving the performance of windows, U.S. annual energy use could reduce by 1.7%, and CO2 emissions could fall by 1.9% in 2050.  SCS Global Services is the certifier of choice for recycled content claims around the world, and for companies seeking certification of their in-house recycling programs.

Renewal by Andersen’s sustainable approach to window replacement means Mother Nature smiles just a little bit brighter.

Did you know:

• Renewal by Andersen windows have achieved the highest SCS Global Services-certified recycled content values for windows.

• Our Fibrex^® material frames and sashes contain 40% reclaimed wood fiber by weight—much of that comes from Andersen Corporation’s wood-window manufacturing process.

• Renewal by Andersen and its parent company, Andersen Corporation, were the first window companies to receive the SCS Global Services Indoor Advantage Gold™ certification. This certification is the most rigorous indoor air emission standard in the United States and meets the California Section 01350 Specifications. 

Long-Term Impact

Construction waste is a major source of landfill waste in the U.S. Every day, we replace windows that are less than a decade old. Renewal by Andersen products are designed to stand the test of time and are backed by one of the strongest, fully transferable limited warranties^*** in the business, meaning decades of energy-cost savings for you—and less landfill waste for our planet.
