Download documentPE100+ deems it important to have insight into the integral environmental burdens encountered during the life span of a PE pipe system (DN/OD 400 mm) for water distribution. PE100+ wishes to get information on the entire life cycle of the systems, from the cradle-to-the grave. With this framework in mind, PE100+ has set up an LCA/EPD project with the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO). The present EPD outlines the various environmental aspects, which accompany the polyethylene (PE) pipe system for water distribution

An official call for papers has been announced for Plastic Pipes XVII. This International Plastic Pipes Conference and exhibition will be hosted in Chicago May 22-24 2014.
Press release call for papers chicago pipe conferenceIn early 2011 the well reputed UK Water Industry Research Limited (UKWIR) published a comprehensive report about the integrity of water supply systems made of PE in the United Kingdom.
The report was promoted to the interested public under the somewhat misleading heading "Did you know that up to 20% of PE electro fusion joints may well fail before they reach their design life time, according to failure data analysis?". This statement caused quite some concern and uncertainty with end users.
Consequently the PE100+ Association approached Exova (UK) who carried out the research work the report is based on and received a clarifying statement indicating that PE pipes have the lowest failure rate amongst all the different materials used in the construction of water mains
