The app produces an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) based on a life-cycle assessment (LCA) that enables the user to determine the environmental impact of a pipe system and compare outcomes with alternative products.
It highlights the environmental advantages, including fewer CO2 emissions, that PVC pipe systems have compared to traditional materials. The EPD calculator resulted from a study by the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO), commissioned by Pipelife as a member of The European Plastic Pipes and Fittings Association (TEPPFA). The Denkstatt sustainability consultancy in Austria validated the findings.
