Plastics are environmentally friendly
A carbon footprint is the sum of all greenhouse gases given off to the
atmosphere during the processes of extraction and refining of a material,
production, transport, use and recycling. Comparisons show that the sum of
greenhouse gases released in manufacturing plastic solutions is smaller than
in manufacturing other traditional materials.
A comparison of materials
In the framework of a in-depth study,
pipes in a length of one metre and
made of various materials were
compared. The results showed that
a plastic pipe has a carbon footprint
which is up to five times lower than
that of a comparable steel pipe.
Lightweight all-plastic solutions
Plastics score particularly well because of their low weight, which pays off especially in the areas of transport and processing. All-plastic solutions from GF Piping Systems are lighter in weight than other piping systems made of conventional materials and this has a positive effect on the carbon footprint.
Lower energy costs
Energy costs can be reduced with
targeted layout planning and
optimal pressure dimensioning
allowing lower pump capacity
requirements. Using plastic
components contributes to a steady
flow rate as well as a stable energy
requirement. Pre-insulated plastic
pipes further reduce energy
requirements and have a positive
impact on the carbon footprint.
