Plumbing Industry Leading the Way

The Construction Plastics Recycling Scheme is bringing all of industry together, contributing to a responsible and sustainable future.

Plastic pipes have transformed the way we live. The majority of PVC resin imported into Australia is used in the manufacture of PVC pipes and fittings, so it’s no secret that it plays an important role in many industries, most notably, plumbing.

As society moves towards a more sustainable future, the plumbing industry is leading the way in playing a role in diverting off-cuts of plastic pipes from landfill, increasing the levels of post-consumer recycling (PCR) and contributing to a circular economy. This scheme aims to educate about recycling plastic pipe and fittings off-cuts, which leads towards a responsible and sustainable future.
