Nuaire switches to 100% recycled plastic in Drimaster-Eco Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) systems
Nuaire’s Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system – the Drimaster – has evolved once more!
As from October 2025, the Drimaster-Eco has swapped its casing from a virgin ABS plastic to a recycled plastic. The switch will result in a reduction of 167 tons of equivalent embodied carbon over the period of a year.
PIV technology was invented by Nuaire in 1972 and was recognised as a groundbreaking, highly effective cure for condensation dampness and its associated problems – including harmful black mould – within residential properties.
Drimaster PIV units are particularly popular with social housing providers due to their cost effectiveness, speedy install, longevity and non-disruptive nature for residents. Moving from the virgin ABS plastic to 100% recycled plastic will not impact the quality of the Nuaire Drimaster-Eco PIV units, although customers will notice a change in colour from the blue plastic to black.
The units will continue to be made in Nuaire’s South Wales state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that covers over 71,000m2 and operates with minimal impact on the environment.
