United Nations SDGS

United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) are a global call to action providing us with a common agenda to address some of the most pressing challenges facing our worlds and unite us together to bring a positive change for both humans and the planet. Plastic pipes play a major role in achieving the objectives of the United Nations SDGS by 2030.

ASSIST IN GROWING FOOD –

plastic pipes bring drinking water to homes and communities. They are used in irrigation systems that are essential for growing food.

Safe for people –

plastic pipes bring drinking water, gas and electricity into our homes, deliver internet services, provide irrigation for food production and carry away sewerage and stormwater safely and efficiently.

Deliver essential services safely –

by providing the highest level of safety for carrying drinking water , plastic pipes are also used almost exclusively in modern homes. They also protect the environment and communities by providing a sealed system to remove sewerage and stormwater.

Designed to last, using resources sustainably –

plastic pipes protect the safety of the community and the network of wires and cables which provide affordable and clean energy to our homes.

Designed to last, using resources sustainably –

As an engineered, long life product, plastic pipes are designed to last. The provide cost effective and sustainable infrastructure due to their much lower carbon footprint than alternatives and recyclability.

Designed to last, using resources sustainably –

plastic pipes performance contributes to long-life of the engineered product designed to last. They are recyclable and have a much lower carbon footprint than alternatives.

Long life, recyclable, efficient –

Our industries manufacturing process reuses any scrap produced. Production plants are clean with low emissions. Plastic pipes are recyclable and have a lower carbon footprint than alternatives.

Lower carbon footprint –

Engineered products can reduce the use of raw materials, use less energy to install and operate (for pumped systems). Plastic pipes are also recyclable and have a lower carbon footprint than alternatives.

Don’t pollute our waterways and oceans –

they are long life and not discarded waste like singe use plastics. Plastic pipes do not end up in our rivers and oceans to subsequently break down into microplastics.

HEAVIER IMPACT IF WE COULDN’T USE PLASTIC PIPES –

made from materials that are engineered to be robust, reliable and recyclable. With a long service life in excess of 100 years the environment would be impacted if there were no plastic pipes. They are the material of choice around the world.
