Our world has enjoyed the use of PVC plastic for decades: PVC is an essential material used in pipes to deliver clean water, create medical supplies like IV bags and in energy efficient building materials like window profiles. However, we must find ways to make it more sustainable to ensure it can support our future generations. Orbia’s Polymer Solutions business Vestolit is leading innovation in new formulations, creating PVC from bio-mass materials, recycled post-consumer waste or even captured carbon, which can reduce CO2 emissions by 50% or more!

We see water differently. At Orbia, we view water as a circular resource that has the power to cool cities, introduce more greenery and make a healthier, more sustainable urban environment. The See Water Differently campaign from our Building & Infrastructure business group Wavin recently won gold at the 2024 ESG & Sustainability Awards for raising awareness of the innovation solutions that can transform our cities and reuse wastewater. Watch the campaign video below to learn more.

Orbia is committed to creating a more circular economy, where resources are reused and recycled instead of going to waste. Each of our business groups have circular initiatives in place from recycling PVC plastic to incorporating closed-loop water systems in manufacturing facilities.
