Cindy Bray – PIPA’s Executive General Manager in August spoke with Trenchless Australasia on how plastic pipe systems are engineered products designed to last – aligning with the three principals of a circular economy.
She states that one of the important features of plastic pipes is the design life “They withstand the forces they are subjected to; they do not corrode and resist chemical attack; they resist abrasion and maintain a smooth bore for easy fluid flow. They are also designed not to leach secondary materials into the fluid flow which is important for drink water applications”.
