Throwback to PVC4Pipes at #K2025 – Presentation by Tobias Johnsen At @Rollepaalbv's Extrusion Exchange, @PVC4Pipes Consultant Tobias Johnsen presented the unique strengths of PVC pipe systems – from proven safety & 100+ design life to their readiness for the hydrogen economy.

Do PVC Pipes Contain Plasticisers? A recent study examined the behaviour of certain phthalates under chlorinated water conditions: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102… However, rigid #PVCpipes used for drinking water distribution do not contain plasticisers: pvc4pipes.com/pvc-pipes/faq-…

How are universities helping the #PVC industry innovate? We asked Laura Mazzocchetti from @Unibo - then looked at a real case: her work with the PVC cable sector on fire performance. 🎥 Full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=FS13rg… #cables #firesafety #innovaton #pvc4cables

PVC Highlights from #PPXXII For the PVC sector, the three days of technical sessions confirmed the material’s role as a future-ready solution for drinking water, wastewater, gas, hydrogen and other sustainable gases, and industrial infrastructure. pvc4pipes.com/pvc-highlights…

Yesterday, our colleague Joaquín Lahoz presented the second part of his research 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝟭𝟬𝟬+ 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 sponsored by @PVC4Pipes at the XXII Pastic Pipes Conference & Exhibition

🏆 Best PVC Paper at #PPXXII ✅ 100+ year PVC-U design lifetime ♻️ Advanced recycling 🔧 Stronger joints “beyond hoop” ⚡ PVC ready for hydrogen 🌱 No-dig renovation saves CO₂ pvc4pipes.com/pvc-at-ppxxii-…

#PPXXII: PVC-U Pipes – Extrusion Conditions for a 100+ Year Design Lifetime The study, sponsored by PVC4Pipes, shows how fine-tuning processing parameters can deliver pipes with a design lifetime exceeding 100 years. Discover Part 1 of the study: plasticpipesconference.com/site/database

#PPXXII: A Solution for PVC Pipe Waste Legacy Additives Eric Romers of @INOVYN_Official highlighted how dissolution can safely and efficiently handle #PVC pipe waste containing legacy additives, enabling REACH-compliant recycled PVC and keeping more material in the loop🔁

@PVCPipeAssoc Always good to exchange cross-Atlantic knowledge on PVC pipes!

PVC Pipe Association President & CEO is attending the Plastic Pipes XXII Conference in Warsaw, Poland this week. #PPXXII

Beyond Hoop: Axisymmetric Stress in PVC Pressure Pipe Joints At #PPXXII, Guido Quesada (@hultecsealing) showed how stresses in PVC joints go beyond traditional hoop stress, strengthening confidence in long-term joint integrity.

#PPXXII: Advancing Climate Efficiency in Pipeline Renovation with No-Dig Technology 🔹 35–55% lower CO₂ emissions compared to conventional methods 🔹 Service life of 100+ years with full recyclability 🔹 Styrene-free installation, safer for workers & urban environments

#PPXXII: Advanced Recycling Options for Legacy Additives-Containing PVC Pipe Waste At the Plastic Pipes XXII conference today, Vincent Stone of @PVC4Pipes /@VinylPlus_EU presented recent breakthroughs in advanced recycling for PVC pipes + other products vinylplus.eu/circular-econo…

PVC at #PPXXII – Day 2 Highlights pvc4pipes.com/pvc-at-ppxxii-…

#PPXXII: Plastic Pipes in Sustainable Infrastructure – Dispelling Common Misconceptions Tobias Johnsen of PVC4Pipes / @VinylPlus_EU presented how the European #PVC / #vinyl value chain is addressing NGO claims on safety and environment with robust, evidence-based communication

#PPXXII: High-Filled OPVC Pipes for Low- to Mid-pressure Applications Ignacio Muñoz de Juan of our partner @Molecor (Spain) presents research on developing a new generation of OPVC (PVC-O) pipes designed for irrigation and other low- to medium-pressure applications.

#PPXXII: Poland chooses PVC pipes Piotr Falkowski of Stowarzyszenie PRiK has a clear message to delegates in Warsaw: Polish utilities prefer #PVC over traditional materials for their sewer networks. Between 1992 and 2005, PVC’s market share grew from 1.5% to 80.3%.

#PPXXII: PVC pipes outperform ductile iron in Australia - in particular global warming potential and freshwater consumption
