Plastic Pipe EPD from Iplex Pipelines

Iplex Pipelines in December 2015 became the world's first plastics pipe manufacturer, to publish a suite of verified and registered International Environmental Product Declarations (EPD®). The declarations cover Iplex Pipelines BlackMAX™ and SewerMAX™ polypropylene drainage pipes, ApolloBLUE™, Rhino® and Iplex Premium PVC pressure pipes, along with foam core and solid wall DWV pipe and conduits.

So what is an EPD®?
Environmental Product Declarations are third-party verified documents based on ISO 14025 and EN 15804 Standards, that communicate transparent and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of a product or service. Specifically, product declarations include information on the environmental impact of raw material acquisition, energy use and efficiency, composition of materials and chemical substances, emissions to air, soil and water and waste generation.

Most importantly, EPD®'s are of great assistance to our customers; the builders and developers seeking to construct environmentally responsible buildings and infrastructure, because EPD®'s present key environmental product performance data in a uniform format.

Access to Iplex pipe EPD®'s provides constructors of these projects with the evidence they require to claim credit points under the Green Building Council of Australia and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia's rating systems.
