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.
