Environmental Commitment

The Andersen Corporation and its subsidiary Renewal by Andersen's heritage of 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 help your home stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer, which reduces use of natural resources and keeps utility costs low. 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 could reduce U.S. annual energy use by 1.7%, and CO₂ emissions could fall by 1.9% in 2050.  

Did you know:

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

• 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.
