About the Window Scrappage Scheme
What is the Window Scrappage Scheme all about?
The Window Scrappage scheme is a petition setup by The Glass & Glazing Federations (GGF) to lobby the government to introduce a scrappage scheme for ‘Energy Rated Windows’. The scheme aims to encourage householders to scrap their old poorly insulated windows in return for a grant for £1000 from the government towards the installation of new energy efficient windows. The ePetition is set up on the Prime Ministers Official website www.number10.gov.uk and you can sign the petition for the windows scrappage scheme at petitions.number10.gov.uk/windowscrappage
In an effort to combat global warming the UK government has set a target of reducing CO2 levels by 30% by 2030. The Windows Scrappage Scheme would help the government meet these targets by acting as an incentive for UK households to replace their old inefficient windows with new energy efficient, well insulated windows.
