Новий завод поліетиленових труб на енергії сонця
Irpin’s New Solar-Powered Plant: A First for Ukraine.
A new manufacturing plant from the company «Planet Plastic» has opened its doors in Irpin, becoming the first enterprise in Ukraine to produce polyethylene pipes using solar energy.
The plant’s production capacity exceeds 17,000 kilometers of pipes per year — enough to lay a pipeline from Kyiv to New Zealand. This fact is impressive not only for its scale but also for its symbolism: a Ukrainian company is demonstrating that even in times of great challenges, it is possible to combine innovation, energy independence, and environmental stewardship.
What the Irpin Plant Produces
The new production lines manufacture polyethylene pipes with diameters ranging from 16 to 800 mm. They are used for:
◎ Water supply systems
◎ Gas distribution networks
◎ Technical and protective conduit systems
◎ Industrial and infrastructural projects
All the equipment is the newest in Ukraine, ensuring precise manufacturing and consistent product quality.
Production that Meets Global Standards
The quality of the pipes is confirmed by certifications and rigorous testing. The products comply with both Ukrainian and international standards, including:
✦ DSTU EN 12201 – pipes for water supply
✦ DSTU EN 1555 – pipes for gas distribution networks
✦ TU 22.2-32375670-001:2020 – protective pipes
✦ TU 22.2-32375670-005:2025 – technical pipes
The production process operates under the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, and all raw materials are supplied by global industry leaders.
Economic Impact and Community Benefits
The new plant is not just a production facility but also a pillar of economic support for the region.
• Its products will be supplied to both the Ukrainian domestic market and for export.
• Located in Irpin, the company can quickly serve clients throughout the country.
• The company offers special discounts on polyethylene pipes for local residents, medical professionals, educators, pensioners, and military personnel.
This makes the enterprise not just a business project, but also a partner to the community.
A Symbol of Resilience
For the company, this plant holds special significance. The war destroyed its existing production facility. However, the «Planeta Plastik» team decided not just to rebuild, but to take a step forward—to create a new, first-of-its-kind solar-powered polyethylene pipe plant in Ukraine.
«Irpin. In 2022, the enemy destroyed everything here. We did not surrender. We are building anew. That is why, continuing this mission, we have built a new pipe factory in less than a year that will work for the good and future of Ukraine,» says Kostiantyn Vashchenko, co-founder and visionary of «Planet Plastic LLC»
Why Solar Energy is the Future
The transition to renewable energy sources is a global trend that Ukrainian businesses are actively embracing. Using solar panels to power the production complex offers several key advantages:
• Reduction of electricity costs
• Energy independence from external factors
• Uninterrupted operation even with an unstable energy grid
Thus, the Irpin plant serves as an example of how industry can be not only productive but also environmentally responsible.
