Borealis promuove il rinnovamento delle infrastrutture ad Accadueo 2008, la mostra italiana delle tecnologie per l'acqua
Le infrastrutture italiane per la distribuzione e il trattamento dell'acqua hanno bisogno di sostanziali interventi di ammodernamento. La rete idrica italiana necessita di essere rinnovata dato che il costo annuo delle perdite è stimato tra i 3,9 e i 5,2 miliardi di euro annui *,come riporta uno studio di recente pubblicazione. Per rinnovare la rete, tuttavia, occorrono investimenti notevoli, ma, se al posto dei materiali tradizionali si utilizzeranno le tubazioni in materie plastiche si potranno risparmiare fino a 85 miliardi di euro sui costi di materiali, installazione e manutenzione, con risvolti positivi anche per l'impatto ambientale.
