80% of land birds and 97% of reptiles and mammals on the Galapagos Islands are found nowhere else in the world. The islands are a remote and delicate ecosystem that has almost no fresh water sources. Plastigama Wavin worked in partnership with the Ecuador Water Security Coalition and Universidad San Francisco de Quito to create a closed loop water project that harvests rainwater and treats wastewater for reuse. Then, the water can be used for toilet services, irrigation and even drinking water. We can only bring change by changing things. We are taking action all over the world. That's what we mean by #SustainabilityInAction. Follow us for more positive stories. Learn more about the project: https://lnkd.in/gwMnFh3q

Last week, we had the honor of hosting a U.S. delegation focused on Circular Neighborhood Development, showcasing our innovative projects in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

Proud to be featured in Fast Company with our blue-green roof solution! What is the article all about? It describes how the Dutch city of Amsterdam is implementing our innovative blue-green roofs to combat flooding and improve climate resilience. These roofs feature hidden reservoirs beneath vegetation to store rainwater during storms. The technology can capture 70-97% of rainfall in extreme events, significantly outperforming traditional green roofs. Connected to weather forecasts, the system can automatically release water before storms to increase capacity. Amsterdam's government is promoting this solution, with a 2021 ordinance requiring rainwater storage in new constructions. Wavin's PolderRoof technology is versatile, applicable to rooftops, balconies, and ground-level spaces, and is now being implemented in projects worldwide, from Europe to North-America. Wavin is an Orbia business, delivering Building & Infrastructure solutions. Amsterdam's gorgeous green roofs have hidden reservoirs to capture rainwater - Fast Company

???? Exciting News: Orbia & Microsoft Launch Water Replenishment Project in Brazil! ???? We’re thrilled to announce that Orbia will join forces with Microsoft and Sanasa Campinas on a significant water replenishment project in Campinas, S?o Paulo. This initiative is a key step towards Microsoft’s goal to replenish more water than it consumes by 2030 and tackles the urgent issue of water stress in the Campinas region, which has faced seven droughts in the past decade. Orbia will use Orbia Building & Infrastructure (Wavin) solutions to deliver various water positive projects. This first collaboration will utilize Orbia’s Water Network Management (WNM) service, powered by TaKaDu, to improve network efficiency and significantly reduce water losses. This innovative solution offers real-time monitoring and management of water network issues, ensuring a more sustainable and resilient water supply. As Eliza Roberts, Water Lead at Microsoft, stated, “Water is a shared challenge that requires a collective approach.” We are proud to join forces with Microsoft and SANASA in this important endeavor to support sustainable water management and make a positive impact on our planet.
