For this reason, we have developed the "Mission 2025" with numerous internal and external measures. In this way, we support the sustainability goals of the "Agenda 2030", which the global community launched in 2015.
Sustainable piping systems from aquatherm
From production to installation to recycling, our systems are designed to have as little impact on the environment as possible.
By volume, a piping system is not a big part of a building, but the wrong piping system can have a big impact on sustainability. Piping systems that discharge chemicals into drinking water affect both people and local groundwater over time.
Pipes that corrode or calcify reduce energy efficiency and eventually need to be replaced, shortening the life of other building components that need to be removed for retrofitting. Pipes that leak waste water and cause mould, affects indoor air quality. Using aquatherm pipes avoids all these problems and can help support green building programmes.
aquatherm pipes are non-leaching and recyclable, so the pipe material is not wasted. PP-R/PP-RCT does not corrode or form deposits, so the systems typically outlast the buildings in which they are installed. And the heat-welded joints last even longer, with no leaks or maintenance.
In addition, aquatherm adheres to the strictest production standards for sustainability, uses environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, and is constantly working on further improvements. Even the production of polypropylene is clean, as it is a by-product of crude oil processing. 3% of crude oil is used for plastic production, which has a much smaller impact than the mining and smelting used to produce metals.
Ultimately, aquatherm's pipes and fittings are environmentally friendly to manufacture, durable and recyclable.

<p>At first glance, the combination of ice storage and a heat pump may seem contradictory. However, this synergy offers a highly efficient, economical, and <a href="https://www.irena.org/-/media/Files/IRENA/Agency/Publication/2020/Nov/IRENA_Innovation_Outlook_TES_2020.pdf">sustainable solution </a>for the heating of buildings, as well as for air conditioning and cooling – which is becoming increasingly important due to more frequent extreme weather and hotter summers. aquatherm provides the corrosion-free <a href="https://www.aquatherm.de/en-gb/solutions-products/products/aquatherm-blue/">aquatherm blue</a> plastic pipe system for connecting ice storage tanks to heat pumps and for piping the hydraulic modules. The highly efficient <a href="https://www.aquatherm.de/en-gb/solutions-products/products/aquatherm-black/">aquatherm black</a> is used for surface heating and cooling. Additionally, the insulated <a href="https://www.aquatherm.de/en-gb/solutions-products/products/aquatherm-energy/">aquatherm energy </a>pipe system is available for longer distances from the ice storage tank to the heat pump.</p>
<p>The principle of an ice storage tank in combination with a heat pump is based on the use of the latent thermal energy that is released during the phase transition from water to ice. The intelligent combination of different technologies creates a system that is both energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. These systems are an attractive option not only for large commercial buildings but also for private residences, helping to reduce heating costs and improve sustainability in the long term.</p>

<p>The key factor for decarbonisation and energy transition, is to renovate buildings to be more energy efficient. A key component in this process is the choice of heating system. Here, the main focus is on the public to switch to the use of a heat pump. But this view is too short-sighted. In this blog, we will discuss why a surface heating system should be installed first and what advantages this brings to the environment and it’s end customers.</p>

<p>To meet the objectives of global climate protection and decarbonisation, wind and solar energy are under public scrutiny. But a clean and sustainable source of energy is often overlooked. In contrast to sun and wind, it offers a constant supply: geothermal energy. In this blog, you will learn about the opportunities offered by geothermal energy and why plastic pipe systems make it possible to use this inexhaustible energy resource economically.</p>
