Helping the environment by making the right choices

Protecting the environment is one of the most important issues that faces our generation. Climate change is driving public opinion, legislation and buying behaviour. According to the World Green Building Council, the building and construction industry are responsible for up to 39% of all carbon emissions in the world. With a growing awareness of the environmental issues that are associated with construction, building owners, developers, consultants and contractors are moving towards a greater awareness and understanding of the impact that we can each have in helping to protect the environment. As a manufacturer of plastic based pipe products, Uponor are keen to provide the best information about the environmental benefits of using modern materials in comparison to traditional copper pipe. Uponor has been working with other plastic pipe manufacturers and the British Plastic Federation (BPF) to produce a series of short Bulletins to help construction industry professionals better understand what information is available, how to understand that information, and how to then use that information to provide a more sustainable building. Each bulletin seeks to further your knowledge and understanding and take you through the process of making informed choices for your construction project.
