Iranpolymer\/Baspar\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>Success thanks to material composition UWR’s product consists of square modules placed next to and on top of each other underground, to create either storage or transportation of stormwater, reducing the risk of flooding in urban areas.<\/p>\n

To support heavy weight from above, a customised recycled plastic was needed that could meet high stiffness requirements, which Polykemi and Rondo Plast were able to provide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe material is a REZYcom PP with a specific polymer composition, reinforced with glass fibre, which together provide the necessary stiffness. We also have excellent repeatability with the material, so UWR will experience the same performance with every delivery,\u201d says Fredrik Holst, Product Manager for Recycled Materials at Polykemi and Rondo Plast.<\/p>\n

Reduced CO2 footprint by 65\u201370%<\/h2>\n

UWR\u2019s product aims to increase cities\u2019 resilience to climate change while simultaneously pursuing other sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

“We achieved such a high proportion of recycled plastic, reducing our CO2 footprint by a remarkable 65\u2013 70%,\u201d says Christian Rosenvinge.<\/p>\n

“The stiffness and strength we achieved mean UWR’s clients can place their cubes relatively shallowly in the ground, which has the effect of reducing the amount of soil that needs to be transported away\u201d, says Fredrik Holst.<\/p>\n

The journey to find the right material was a collaboration between the customer and the supplier. \u201cUWR took the chance to visit us together with their clients to see our production and let our technical experts demonstrate the material on-site\u201d, explains\u00a0Fredrik Holst.<\/p>\n

From the beginning, UWR aimed to use material based on recycled raw materials, but it took some\u00a0effort before the two sides found exactly the right one. \u201cWe worked closely with the lab at Polykemi, and in the end, we found a recycled plastic material that met all our requirements,\u201d says Christian Rosenvinge. The modules in UWR\u2019s system have a lifespan of 75 years \u2013 compared to conventional solutions on the market today, where the lifespan is usually around 25\u201330 years.<\/p>\n

Winner of the Aquatech Innovation Awards 2025<\/h2>\n

In March 2025, UWR won the Aquatech Innovation Awards in the \u201dTransport and Process & Control\u201d category for their innovation.<\/p>\n

“Winning the award is a great sign of quality. We started production in October 2023, and now have ongoing projects with deliveries to Denmark, Norway, the UK, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Germany. This may lead to more clients discovering our solution,\u201d says Christian Rosenvinge.<\/p>\n

Polykemi follows UWR\u2019s journey as a proud supplier.\u00a0\u201cWe’re thrilled to be part of this collaboration and follow UWR in their success. They\u2019ve earned this spotlight, and their fantastic system really makes a difference in society! For us, it\u2019s proof that we\u2019re doing the right things as a supplier,\u201d says Fredrik Holst.<\/p>\n
