Borealis and Borouge Showcase Innovation and Commitment to the Pipe Industry at PPXXII

At the 22nd Plastic Pipes Conference (PPXXII) held from September 15 to 17, 2025, we at Borealis and Borouge reaffirmed our nearly 60-year commitment to the infrastructure pipe industry. Held in Warsaw, Poland, this global event brought together industry leaders to explore sustainable solutions, technological innovations, and long-term performance in plastic piping.

Since 1967, we’ve been a trusted partner in the infrastructure sector, delivering high-quality polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) pipe solutions. Our materials are engineered for durability and long service life—often exceeding 100 years—making them ideal for drinking water, gas, industrial applications, cable protection, and waste water management.
