Innovation

A big risk to human well-being worldwide is the lack of clean and safe water resources. It is an urgent problem and one of the effects of climate change we are already witnessing today. Wavin continuously develops innovative solutions to mitigate these effects. We contribute by building healthy and sustainable environments and by creating future-proof cities.

Goals

  • Use recyclate materials as much as possible and reducing, where possible, the amount of materials used to minimize environmental impact (e.g. reduce CO2 emissions through freight). 
  • Increase the number of innovative Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) solutions such as Indoor Climate Solutions, TreeTanks® among others. 
  • Integrate a Portfolio Sustainability Assessment Framework company wide that will stimulate innovative solutions and reduce our customers’ footprint.
