Uponor has been awarded the Gold level rating by the global sustainability rating platform EcoVadis. The total score improved to 70 out of 100 (62 /100 in 2022: Silver level rating) putting Uponor among the top 6% of the 5000 companies in the plastic products manufacturing sector evaluated by EcoVadis globally.

Uponor has decided to close down its assembly factory in Ehingen, Germany, and move the assembly operation to its facility in Poland.

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.

We started our common journey with Poland-based Capricorn in Autumn of 2021 and now we are moving forward to one of the final steps in the integration process: Capricorn and Uponor are becoming one brand - Uponor as of February 2023.

In 1972, Uponor launched the first PEX pipes worldwide and revolutionised the entire industry. 50 years later, the pipes have proven to be resistant and versatile and are not only still around, but continue to be the basis for further sustainable innovations.
