🌍 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
