We are pleased to share that Harald Brynlund-Lima (Senior Advisor Urban Climate Resilience Norway) and Oleksandra Furman (Digitalization & Sustainability Manager Norway) had the opportunity to present at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences this week. They delivered a lecture on smart solutions in the water sector, with a focus on data analysis and applications in blue-green roofs. The lecture was part of a summer school hosted by the university as part of the EU-funded WATERLINE project. This initiative aims to enhance research and educational skills at all career stages, providing tools and knowledge for innovations in water sector digitalization. We discussed data from blue-green roof systems, such as the Wavin PolderRoof, highlighting their key advantages: • Rainwater collection to prevent sewer overflows and irrigate green roofs • Intelligent water distribution across roofs based on plant needs • Remote monitoring and control for improved productivity and service At Wavin (part of Orbia), our goal is to contribute to climate-resilient cities through innovative water management solutions. We're working towards water circularity in buildings, neighborhoods, and cities by capturing, cleaning, and reusing rainwater. It was a rewarding experience to share our insights with the next generation of water management professionals. If you're interested in learning more about urban climate resilience solutions, please reach out to your local Wavin representative. We want to thank the NMBU - Norwegian University of Life Sciences for inviting us and giving us this wonderful opportunity! #WaterManagement #UrbanResilience #Sustainability

🌧️💧 Transforming Lives with Sustainable Water Solutions 🌧️💧 In many parts of the world, the quest for clean water, sanitation, and hygiene is ongoing. Orbia Building & Infrastructure (Wavin), in partnership with FUNCAGUA (Water Fund), has taken a step forward in Guatemala. We’ve introduced and installed our Wavin AquaCell system to a rural school, enabling the capture and storage of rainwater. Previously, the school’s water supply was sporadic, often disrupted for up to four days during droughts. The limited water availability hindered essential hygiene practices, affecting both students and staff. With Wavin AquaCell, we’ve changed that narrative. Through this volunteering project, the school now boasts a 10,000-liter water reserve, ensuring a consistent supply. This upgrade supports over 200 young minds in preschool and primary education, empowering them with the means for proper handwashing, clean facilities, and a healthier learning environment. This shows how sustainable WASH solutions can transform lives. Have a look at the video showing you all the details of this fantastic project. #SustainabilitybyDoing #WASH #Education Amanco Wavin Centroamérica

Time is our biggest challenge! We are proud of our Orbia B&I (Wavin) colleagues from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany who cycled over 2600 km (together, in one day!) along the 'future coastline' of the Netherlands in a call for climate action: the 2024 Climate Classic. 🌊🚴🏼 Cycling 4 Climate Sea levels are rising at an unprecedented rate. This century, there is a risk of a 2.5m rise, and we must prevent that at all costs. Therefore, more than 2000 riders in total joined the Climate Classic to call attention to rising sea levels. Riders were challenged to raise money for Wetlands International. Our Orbia B&I colleagues raised €1400 for this great cause, which is committed to the protection and restoration of wetlands. In addition, all participants made their own climate promise, as we all have a hidden impact on the planet. Feeling inspired? Share your climate promise in the comments! 👇🏻 A big thank you to all participants, volunteers, sponsors, and local communities for their support. 🌍💙 #Orbia #ClimateClassic #ClimateAction #WherePurposeComesToLife

At Orbia B&I (Wavin), we are committed to Embracing Diversity as a core value. Pride Month is a time to reflect on this commitment, recognizing the rich diversity within our global community. We believe in the power of allyship, and our employee resource group OPN (Orbia Pride Network), is dedicated to promoting inclusivity and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. With the help of OPN, local events are held worldwide to encourage employees to learn from and support one another. Together, we are building a culture of inclusivity and respect—as the Pride flag at our Hardenberg site proudly demonstrates. Wishing everyone a happy Pride Month! #Orbia #PrideMonth #EmbracingDiversity #OrbiaPrideNetwork

Reducing our carbon footprint is central to our ultimate goal of advancing life around the world by building healthy, sustainable environments.   So, it’s fantastic news that our 2023 figures confirm a 47% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions – seven years ahead of schedule.   From here, we’ll continue to work towards achieving carbon net zero by 2050.   Wavin is an Orbia business. #Sustainability #Construction #NetZero

Climate change is here. We're extracting more than the earth can replenish annually. We need to step up our game. Switching to bio-based products in construction offers an important step towards sustainability. Derived from renewable sources like plants and trees, these materials have lower CO2 emissions, something we all aim for. Bio-based synthetics can be produced in a way identical to its fossil-based counterpart, with no loss in material quality. At Wavin, we're committed to championing these solutions. From renewable sources, these materials boast minimal CO2 footprints and offer a sustainable alternative to traditional resources. Join Wavin in the adoption of bio-based solutions in construction.
