Renewable sources in relining – sustainable, fast sewer and water pipe rehabilitation

CIPP technology in itself is a highly sustainable solution for the renovation of sewer and water pipes, minimising the negative impact of the work carried out on the environment and the social surroundings. Whether the installation is carried out using hot water or UV curing technology, for both methods AOC – as the world leader in resins for CIPP – offers a wide range of available resin types, which will be discussed during the presentation. In addition, special emphasis will be placed on new types of recycled PET-based resins (rPET), making the technology even more sustainable.
