Eco Friendly Plastic Pipe Systems from Think Pipes Think PVC

A great benefit to the environment from industry is to consume less energy. Being aware of the embodied energy implications for a particular system helps engineers design piping solutions that not only deliver required hydraulic performance but also deliver lower embodied energy' and thus reduced impacts on the environment.

CSIRO have produced a document, Piping Systems Embodied Energy Analysis2, which demonstrates that plastics for a piping solution have a significantly beneficial effect on the embodied energy total for the system. This study revealed that PVC-O pipes come out as the winners, providing the best embodied energy solution in many situations. A significant factor is the thinner wall resulting in a lighter pipe.
