Iplex – PVC Pressure Pipes

This EPD covers unplasticised PVC (PVC-U) non-pressure pipes ranging from 20-375mm nominal diameter for Drainage, Waste and Ventilation (DWV), stormwater, and electrical conduit applications.

Iplex PVC-U non-pressure pipes are manufactured in accordance with the Australian Standards for PVC pipe (AS/NZS 1260 and 1254), which have adapted the Best Environmental Practice PVC requirements developed with industry and the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA). Iplex PVC-U contains no phthalates, dioxins or heavy metal additives (e.g. lead and cadmium).

The EPD conforms with EN 15804 and PCR 2012:01 Construction Products and Construction Services v2.0, the EPD follows a “cradle-to-gate with options” scope including all modules up to installation at site (A1-A5), end of life modules C1-C4 and the potential benefits from recycling in module D. The EPD was based on a cradle to grave life cycle assessment study and other modules were deemed not relevant. The declared unit is one kilogram (1kg) installed non-pressure PVC pipe manufactured in Australia from sites in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

This EPD complies with the requirements for a ‘product specific EPD’ and can be used to obtain Product Sustainability credits under the GBCA Green Star rating tools.
