About the Waves of Wavin podcast
The Waves of Wavin is a podcast about sustainable and smart solutions for a better and more resilient urban future.
We draw our listeners' attention to the systems that play a major role in our lives but are often overlooked. Each episode highlights a different area or system and its function in our environment. The goal is to explore how these systems can be used to mitigate climate change. Produced by Wavin, the podcast focuses on the company’s Nordic divisions.
In every episode, host David interviews one of Wavin's many specialized experts. They discuss climate challenges, focusing on topics such as resilience, digitalization, and circularity. The questions and talking points all boil down to one purpose: Finding a way forward.
Safe and efficient water supply
Future generations face a 40% shortfall between their water supply and demand - so it's crucial to make every decision count if we want to reduce water leakage and water contamination in ageing pipes.
Better sanitation and hygiene
With a city replacing as little as 1% of its sewer pipes every year, it could take up to 100 years to renew a city's entire system. We need to think about the decisions we make when it comes to installing new sewage systems.
Climate resilient cities
Extreme weather is putting pressure on our cities. A combination of extreme droughts and heavy rainfall in densely populated cities cause a number of serious environmental and social issues. Our challenge is to make every decision count in the search for long lasting solutions to climate change - and how cities need to adapt to these challenges.
Better building performance
We create efficient, sustainable solutions for building and for living - by making every decision count before, during and after the construction process.
