Using the wind and sun to power the manufacture of sustainable medical products in Rhymney.
Convatec is committed to playing its part in helping tackle climate change and by 2045 our aim is to become net zero worldwide. As part of this drive to net zero, we’re aiming to significantly reduce our reliance on gas and grid electricity in our Rhymney plant.
Our manufacturing plants use a lot of energy and a key part of our pathway to achieving net zero is the production of our own renewable energy. To achieve this ambition, we are bringing forward plans to construct a green manufacturing hub next to our production facility in Rhymney. This would result in manufacturing at our facility having security of supply and predictable costs for the project’s 25-year lifetime. At the same time carbon emissions will be greatly reduced in line with our net zero ambitions.
