Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for PVC pipes were based on generic data, leading to misconceptions about the sustainability of PVC compared to polypropylene (PP) pipes for water, wastewater and cable covers. Working with INEOS Inovyn, Pipelife Norway now offers third-party verified EPDs with manufacturer-specific lifecycle assessment (LCA) data for PVC. It shows a 45% reduction in Global Warming Potential (GWP) and a 36% lower climate impact compared to PP pipes.
