💧 Norwegian Greentech's remarkable success highlighted in Kystens Næringsliv   In a recent feature by Kystens Næringsliv, our phenomenal growth journey takes the spotlight. The saga of Norwegian Greentech embodies visionary entrepreneurs who spotted a golden opportunity in the early days of the green transition. Born in 2010 under MMC First Process AS, the company foresaw the future of ballast water purification, even before its mandated adoption in 2016. NGT's growth, which evolved from a team of one to seven employees, experienced a monumental explosion in 2019. Today, we proudly showcase a thriving team of over 20 members, headquartered in state-of-the-art facilities in Fosnavåg. Guided by our vision of fostering a sustainable future at sea, Norwegian Greentech is passionately committed to making a difference in the green transition. We are driven by the profound belief that our innovations and solutions not only lead to business success but also play a pivotal role in shaping a cleaner and more environmentally responsible maritime industry. Our dedication stems from the conviction that every action towards sustainable practices contributes to a brighter, greener tomorrow for our oceans and the planet. 🌍🌊🌱 The article is in Norwegian.   #passionforCLEANWATER #GreenTechSuccess #BWTS #watertreatmentsolutions

What a week! Spent it in #Copenhagen together with Jean-François Manzoni, IMD President and Nestlé Professor. We connected with #IMD Alumni and had a series of interesting conversations with key local stakeholders. #Sustainability and #energy transition is clearly high on the agenda #Denmark. With the first methanol enabled container vessel #LauraMærsk still in town after being named by the #EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen the week before the buzz around the opportunity #greenmethanol brings, not only as fuel to lower emissions in the transport industry, but also in other areas is evident. Hearing about the supportive partnership of DFDS and Volvo Trucks that made the recent Copenhagen Pride Parade electric was also energizing. At the same time there are clearly also challenges as part of this transition. The increased financial costs for Wind Power are just one current example that tells us that to successfully move the needle on #climatechange we need to do so in #collaboration. Thanks to all that contributed to making this week a success! Including our gracious event host, our fantastic alumni board in Denmark and everyone who met us individually. Anne-Christine Ahrenkiel, STEEN ERNLAND, Cinthia Grande, Lars Alstrup, Ingrid U. Snelderwaard (She/her/hers), Tine Lundegaard, Troels Bjerg, Jens Christian Foged, Tania Sola, and everyone else. #resilience #leadership #competitiveness C2X, Vestas, A.P. Moller - Maersk

📢 It is with great humility and pride that we received the Climate Award from Sarpsborg Municipality today! 🏆 🍀 Here is the jury's explanation: "Paxster is a local producer of sustainable logistics solutions in urban areas. Paxster has helped put Sarpsborg on the map, both nationally and internationally. Paxster is sustainable, innovative, creative, and willing to experiment. The focus on sustainability is a clear thread, and Paxster 2ndDrive is a good example of how Paxster envisions new sustainable possibilities." With Paxster 2ndDrive, we buy back vehicles that have been on the road for several years, strip them down, and rebuild them with a reuse rate of up to 95%. 🍀🚚 This is a step towards a more circular future and demonstrates opportunities within the transportation industry, which accounts for far too much of today's emissions. Many thanks to Sarpsborg Kommune for the recognition and for their engagement and support within the local business community! 🙏 #lastmile #lastmiledelivery #urbanlogistics #lastmilelogistics #circulareconomy #madeinnorway #teamwork #næringsliv #norsknæringsliv #norskindustri #grønnindustri Sarpsborg næringsforening #sarpsborgkonferansen

🌍 Uponor, now part of Georg Fischer, is reaching new heights with its dedication to sustainability, as the Virsbo factory in Sweden successfully attains complete carbon neutrality in its own operations! This accomplishment follows the success of our Carbon Neutral Factory in Finland, solidifying our dedication to minimizing our environmental footprint.    🏭 In alignment with our ambitious goals and GF’s Sustainability Framework 2025 to reduce our scope 1 and 2 emissions, Uponor continues to lead with innovation through its 'Carbon Neutral Factory' concept. This initiative not only reduces our climate impacts but also aims to diminish the carbon footprint of our valued customers and partners.    👉 "Our journey towards sustainability is marked by continuous improvement in our own operations. The Swedish factory's achievement of carbon neutrality is a testament to our dedication to sustainability and sets a powerful example for others to follow," says Uponor’s Chief Technology Officer Thomas Fuhr.    🌳 Similar to Nastola, Virsbo has invested significantly in technology and infrastructure, actively committing to heat recovery. By using waste heat from production to heat factory buildings, we've minimized the need for auxiliary heat and decreased reliance on external energy sources. The shift to green electricity and electrification of our vehicle fleet further emphasizes our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint.     🗣 "This is a clear statement that Uponor takes its sustainability agenda seriously, and that we are the number one partner in the construction industry when it comes to taking the lead in innovation, sustainability, and quality products," adds Uponor Sweden’s Managing Director Robert Molund.    💚 With Virsbo achieving the Carbon Neutral Factory status, Uponor is not just reducing its own environmental impact but is also contributing to emissions reduction across the construction industry's supply chain.     🚰 Since 1972, Uponor has proudly manufactured over six billion meters of PEX pipe for use in drinking water solutions and radiant heating/cooling applications in Virsbo, Sweden. Now, by choosing our PEX pipes, customers across Europe are not only investing in top-tier quality but also actively contributing to a greener future.   🌱 Uponor remains steadfast in replicating the success of its Carbon Neutral Factory concept across its other facilities, reinforcing our position as a leader in sustainable construction. This achievement in Virsbo, Sweden, marks another significant step forward in our journey towards a greener, more sustainable future for all.    #Uponor #MovingWater #SustainabilityJourney
