Overview

PVC4Pipes is the European Council of Vinyl Manufacturers' value chain platform to communicate about the use of PVC in pipe systems in the global market. Our mission is to promote the acceptance and utilisation of PVC in pipe systems through scientific and technical projects, appropriate standardisation, and communication activities. PVC pipes are used in a wide variety of applications, from transportation of drinking water over drainage solutions to advanced fire-sprinkler systems. This popularity owes to a unique combination of properties: safety, durability/cost-efficiency, environmental performance and recyclability. Our partners come from all parts of the PVC value chain and beyond. We welcome new partners – contact us to learn more about how to join PVC4Pipes. The value of being a PVC4Pipes partner is manifold: - Share the costs of technical (migration testing, lifecycle cost analyses etc.) and environmental (LCA, EPD etc.) projects - Influence and benefit from joint standardization initiatives at the European and international levels - Access to training material covering technical and advocacy issues - Access to latest EU and national regulatory developments relevant to plastic pipes (drinking water, additives..) - Access to most up to date informations on new technologies, best manufacturing practices and markets - Access to a one-voice network of national PVC associations
