Historically, piping systems relied on materials like concrete, lead, steel, and copper. While these materials have served their purpose, their production and usage come with substantial environmental costs.

1. Concrete Pipes

• High Carbon Footprint: Cement production is one of the largest contributors to CO? emissions, accounting for 8% of global emissions.

• Energy-Intensive Manufacturing: Producing concrete requires 1.11 MJ/kg of energy and emits 0.159 kg of CO? per kg.

• Durability Issues: Concrete pipes are prone to cracking and corrosion, leading to frequent replacements and increased waste.

 

2. Lead Pipes

• Toxicity Risks: Lead contamination in water supplies poses severe health hazards, including neurological damage.

• Phased Out in Modern Plumbing: Due to its harmful effects, lead is no longer a preferred material for water distribution.

 

3. Steel and Copper Pipes

• High Energy Consumption: Extracting and processing metals like steel and copper is energy-intensive.

  1. Steel production consumes 20.1 MJ/kg of energy and emits 1.37 kg of CO? per kg.  2.Copper mining leads to soil degradation and water pollution.

• Corrosion Issues: Metal pipes rust over time, leading to leaks, water wastage, and frequent replacements.

Given these challenges, the construction industry is shifting toward sustainable polymer-based piping solutions that offer durability, efficiency, and a lower environmental footprint.
