Water management is a key issue for mankind. Hunderds of millions of people do not have access to drinking water and billions have no real sewage system. Drinking water and waste water pipes are core applications for PVC.
PVC pipes allow providing fresh water to people in their homes and carrying water for irrigation to dry lands. PVC pipe system networks help save huge amounts of water due to their watertightness, and participate actively in human development eg for agriculture. PVC pipes ensure a good water quality by contributing to health and hygiene, with evacuation and sewage systems that take waste water from homes, industries, etc. to water treatment plants.
Milions tons of PVC pipes are installed every year all over the world, being the most used plastic pipes due to their durability, lightness, easiness and cheapness for being installed and having low maintenance.
In addition, at its end of life, PVC pipes can easily be recycled, and are recycled all over the world since decades, contributing to a sustainable development of the mankind.
SolVin decided to participate to this World Water Day, as it is a unique opportunity to learn about all the potentials of drinking water and sewage pipes networks for all 3 pillars of Sustainability : Social, economical and environmental.
