Sustainable Product Portfolio strategy for a global manufacturer of piping systems

Steering the R&D portfolio of a piping specialist, integrating recyclates, material substitution and weight reduction

We supported a player producing PVC, PP, PE and ABS products (e.g. pipes) in defining the pillars of its circular economy strategy, with a particular focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

We modelled the impact of various levers — such as incorporating recycled content into eligible products, using bio-based materials, or reducing weight — on total emissions through 2034. We then co-built with the client the structure of the roadmap needed to activate these levers.

This engagement continued with a scoring of the entire innovation portfolio and a segmentation of the product offering using a Sustainable Portfolio Management approach.
