BlackMAX™ and SewerMAX™ Polypropylene Pipes

This EPD covers polypropylene (PP) pipes ranging from 225-600mm nominal diameter for stormwater drainage and sewerage applications. Whilst most commonly used in underground drain and sewer applications, when provided with appropriate support these products are equally suitable for installation above ground in suspended stormwater systems.

Iplex PP pipes are manufactured to a high standard in accordance with the Australian Standard AS/NZ 5065 - ‘Polyethylene and polypropylene pipes & fittings for drainage and sewerage'.

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) and maintenance (B2). 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 PP pipe manufactured at a single Australian site in Brisbane.

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.
