Improving Operational Safety: Performance Material Solutions

As a top global piping systems provider, we strive to enhance operational safety and address environmental challenges through innovation. We create solutions with highly engineered products, advanced jointing technologies, and comprehensive training. Our efforts help customers prevent accidents, leaks, and reputation damage, ensuring safer and more reliable operations.

Low-Emission Products

Highly engineered polymers are the most sustainable way forward, lasting much longer than their metal counterparts. We not only find the best materials for long-lasting solutions, but also assess what we can do at end of life, to provide the optimal solution with the environment in mind.

Engineered Thermoplastics

To create high-quality, long-lived products we use engineered thermoplastics in our manufacturing. For the applications we serve, resistance to corrosion and harsh chemicals is key, reducing maintenance requirements and down-time. Our solutions' extended lifetime leads to lower material consumption and unwanted water and potentially hazardous media losses.

Sustainable Innovation

Throughout the innovation process, GF Piping Systems utilizes a sustainability assessment to evaluate and continuously improve the sustainability profile of all projects. This includes assessing their potential for the circular economy. Furthermore, we evaluate new, more circular business models and operate a pool of rental machines and tools.

Bio-based Materials

We have launched our first products with up to 20% bio-based PVC obtained from tall oil, a waste stream from the paper industry. Further products and polymer groups will follow. Find out more about our bio-attributed PVC products here.

Impact Data Transparency

It is becoming increasingly important for our customers to show how their projects are sustainable and that they are choosing the most sustainable option – we provide this information so that our customers can make the best choice for the environment and their business. 

Product Impact Assessments

GF Piping Systems calculates and supports the calculation of life cycle assessments (LCAs) and environmental product declarations (EPDs) to assess the environmental impact of products and solutions along their life cycle. Find the studies here.

Certifications

Several of our products help customers to fulfill requirements for building standards and certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, and Minergie.
