According to the studies, 90% of the pollution load in the city, comes from the already existing areas rather than the newly built areas, and the studies showed that this will be the case in the future too. This was an eye-opener for Ebba Waernbaum, a strategist within VA SYD and a head of waste management in Burlington and Malmö, and for her team. 🎧Listen to the full episode of Urbanista podcast to find out more.

👷♀️ June 23rd marks the 11th International Women in Engineering Day and serves as a reminder that women are still underrepresented in engineering, comprising only 16.5% of the profession in 2022 according to the United Nations. Follow us to see how engineering shapes career paths and brings a positive impact on society. Together with Dr Shima L. Holder Hjort, Chiara Lepore, and Francesca Viggiano, we wish you a Happy International Women in Engineering Day! #engineering #inwed24 #diversitymatters GF Piping Systems Uponor GF Casting Solutions

🌍 Exciting News for Sustainability Enthusiasts! 🌎 I was honored to be asked to participate in an interview with Green Building & Design Magazine on behalf of Uponor for an article discussing the vital role of construction in achieving net zero goals. As construction professionals, we have the unique opportunity to drive significant positive change through sustainable practices and innovations. I encourage everyone to read the article and join the conversation about how we can collectively push towards a more #sustainable and #EnergyEfficient future. Let’s inspire action and make a lasting impact! 🔗 below 👇 #SustainabilityInConstruction #NetZero #GreenBuilding #Innovation #GreenDesign #RadiantHeating #RadiantCooling #PolymerPiping #WomenInConstruction

Steps towards more sustainable construction are taken in cooperation: Uponor Blue pipes, which utilize renewable raw materials, selected for the regional renovation of the HSY (Helsinki Region Environmental Services HSY) water supply network in Espoo reduce the carbon footprint of pipeline installations by 70 percent compared to traditional plastic pipes. The carbon footprint of the innovative Blue pipes has been significantly reduced by using raw material for pipe manufacturing, more than half of which comes from renewable, certified raw material sources. The solution has been developed in collaboration with Borealis, one of the world's leading suppliers of circular polyolefin solutions. #blueisthenewgreen

👷 We at Uponor champion the International Labour Organization's World Day for Safety and Health at Work.   ✅ Employee safety and wellbeing are of particular importance to us. We emphasize a proactive top-down, bottom-up approach to safety on all levels of our organization and actively find ways to improve our safety practices to reach our zero-accident ambition. Additionally, our global safety network meets regularly to align on safety processes and share best practices. We also raise awareness around health and safety at work with regular information campaigns, implement state-of-the-art safety tools, and train our workforce. With these measures, we managed to halve the lost time due to accidents in 2023. This year, we continue our focus on safety.   🏆 An example of our proactive approach to safety: With the active use of a user-friendly safety reporting tool and the can-do attitude of our employees, we have seen a significant increase in employee-driven improvements in production. What is more, new tools and guidelines are shared with other manufacturing sites—for the safety and health of all of us.   #Safety #Wellbeing #SafeDay2024

🌍 Uponor celebrates Earth Day. 🌱 This year’s theme, Planet vs. Plastics, touches the very core of our business. A significant share of the carbon footprint of plastic raw materials is created during the upstream oil refinement process. To tackle this issue, we have invested heavily in developing more sustainable alternatives to fossil-based raw materials. Currently, our offering includes 11 Blue product categories which contain multiple individual products made from renewable raw materials. ♻️ We also work to improve the recyclability of our products when they reach the end of their useful life. In 2023, we managed to chemically recycle our PEX pipe manufacturing waste back to plastic raw material and produce the world’s first circular PEX pipe in cooperation with WasteWise Group Oy, Neste and Borealis. 📢 In 2022, we started a program to minimize and eventually phase out single-use plastic packaging. We are also committed to Operation Clean Sweep to ensure that all spilled plastic granules are cleaned up at once in our manufacturing sites. 💧Our employees share our commitment of tangibly contributing to a more sustainable future. For example, our colleagues around the world have taken part in clean-up events to keep plastic material out of waterbodies. #EarthDay #MovingWater #Sustainability
