100 % drinking water quality, 40 % energy savings and 30 % faster installation: Uponor Combi Port and Aqua Port heat interface units for decentralized hot water supply and–depending on the model–for heating and cooling.
GF Building Flow Solutions (former Uponor) has published its Sustainability Review 2023, prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative Standards and assured by an independent third party.
Uponor has achieved carbon neutrality in its Nastola factory in Finland. This is a major milestone in the company's journey to reduce its environmental impact and become a net-zero carbon company by 2040. The Nastola factory produces plastic pipes and fittings for plumbing, heating and cooling systems. The factory has implemented various measures to reduce its energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, such as switching to renewable electricity, installing solar panels, optimizing production processes and increasing recycling. The factory has also offset its remaining emissions by supporting certified climate projects in developing countries.

Uponor, Wastewise, Neste and Borealis have successfully produced pipes made of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) which was based on feedstock gained from chemically recycled post-industrial waste plastic from PEX pipe production, using an ISCC PLUS certified mass-balancing approach. The partner companies believe this project is among the first implementations of chemical recycling of PEX.
