Look out for these changes in our new packaging when you next buy a Dakea roof window or accessory:
• Zero plastic packaging in the box, with paper-based alternatives replacing them. The screw bag and packing straps are also replaced with FSC-approved paper alternatives.
• A more robust and durable cardboard box, with double flute construction, means less damage during handling and transportation leading to fewer returns and claim orders.
• New carrying straps, made from mix of cotton 80% and polyester 20%, make handling easier.
• The new packaging can be easily broken down to be recycled.
• We've reduced printed material with installation information now being accessed via a QR code, clearly marked on the box, linking to Dakea’s installation videos.
. • Main information on maintenance procedures and available accessories are now in an envelope attached to the roof window pane.
• The box labelling and branding have also been redesigned with less ink and colour on the box but clearer and easier-to-follow product information
“Waste management is one of the biggest challenges for the industry. If we are to take our joint responsibility seriously, we need to make changes now, not later. It is all part of holding ourselves to account at the highest level, hence why we developed our sustainability strategy with SBTi. With our more environmentally friendly packaging, on-site waste management for housebuilders is now easier.”

Dakea International Sales Director
