Modern water management is undergoing a fundamental change; the focus is no longer solely on safe transport and supply, but also on the proactive protection of drinking water resources from external influences.

Sustainability in the supply chain is an important decision criterion for municipalities, utilities, and grid operators. Overall, plastic pipes have a very good environmental balance, especially when compared to other materials.

In Germany, the water sector is considered critical infrastructure, the failure or impairment of which would lead to long-term supply bottlenecks and significant disruptions to public life.

In times of increasing environmental requirements and more demanding sustainability goals, EPDs are gaining ever greater importance.

To ensure smooth and flawless pipe installation even under challenging conditions, intensive cooperation between the pipe supplier, planning firms, and contractors is the simplest approach.

Sustainability plays a central role at egeplast. The development of products with a higher recycling content and the installation of a PV system are just some of the numerous initiatives and measures that are included in the sustainability report and have led to the EcoVadis ranking in silver.

In recent decades, global temperatures have risen, aridity is increasing, and at the same time, more and more extreme weather events are being recorded. The cause is the decades-long emission of climate-damaging greenhouse gases – this has been scientifically proven.
