The Plastics Industry Pipe Association of Australia – PIPA – is the peak industry body representing the interests of Australia’s plastics pipes, fittings and raw material suppliers. We promote the correct use and installation of safe and environmentally responsible plastics pipe systems. PIPA member companies have been world leaders with the development of Best Environmental Practice for PVC plastic pipe. Reflecting our industry’s commitment to continuous improvement in environmental outcomes and transparency, PIPA member companies are now amongst the first in the world to publish a suite of verified and internationally registered Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for many of their products. Leading PIPA member companies have embraced the concept of EPDs and the transparency they reflect. This will greatly assist with informed procurement decisions based on the comparative environmental impact of competing products when made in the context of established rating tools.
