Rehau launches first 100% climate neutral plastic sewer system
To help support the wastewater industry reduce emissions, REHAU has launched its first 100% climate neutral plastic sewer system, nevoPP, which has a completely measurable climate impact throughout the entire product life cycle.
This new sustainable sewage pipe system focuses on using the circular economy to help achieve emissions savings. Thanks to its construction with 100% recycled polymer made from high-quality polypropylene, it enables a measurable CO2 reduction through its use of sustainable and recyclable materials.
Installing 50 kilometres of nevoPP has the potential to save around 360 tonnes of CO2 compared to a system that uses entirely new materials in its construction. This is the equivalent of the annual CO2 emissions from approximately 75 average UK homes[1]. This reduction has been independently calculated and verified certified by TÜV Rheinland, with nevoPP being a huge step towards moving to net zero emissions for the wastewater industry.
Steve Richmond, Head of Marketing & Technical at REHAU UK said: “Our new polymer sewage system is a unique combination of performance and sustainability. Bringing our offering of sustainable construction with the reliability that customers have come to expect from REHAU, nevoPP offers the wastewater industry a tangible option in their move towards net zero.”
The range of nevoPP products includes the 74
AWADUKT nevoPP SN10 heavy-duty sewer pipe system for separate and mixed systems, along with AWASCHACHT nevoPP DN 1000, a 'sewer inspection chamber' made from new and recycled polypropylene.
All these products form part of a wider commitment to strengthen the circular economy through the REHAU Return concept. This allows construction material waste and old pipes to be transformed into new nevoPP pipes. The recycled materials are also made up of 80% industrial recycled matter, sourced from production residues for construction and packaging applications.
The production of nevoPP also uses 100% renewable electricity, with 100% transparent consumption and CO2 targets for the production plant in accordance with the ISO 50001 energy management system and ISO 14001 environmental management system.
Steve added: “At REHAU, we are committed to driving the transition to sustainable materials for businesses. Our latest innovation, nevoPP, exemplifies this commitment. By modernising our production facilities, we continuously enhance efficiency, ensuring that sustainability is at the heart of our manufacturing processes.”
