NOVATEC LC

NOVATEC LC is a multilayer, non‑pressure PVC pipe produced by co‑extrusion of three PVC layers — a virgin PVC outer skin, a middle core incorporating ≤ 20% post‑consumer recycled PVC together with internal process scrap, and a virgin PVC inner skin giving it a lower carbon footprint (hence "LC", low carbon) while maintaining full mechanical performance. It is designed to convey domestic and industrial wastewater and rainwater by gravity in residential, commercial and institutional buildings, both above and below ground. The product complies with the applicable Colombian regulations (Resolución 0501 de 2017) & NTC 1087. NOVATEC LC is supplied in 6‑metre lengths across four nominal sizes (2″, 3″, 4″ and 6″) with an integrated CSA socket for jointing and has a technical life span of at least 50 years under normal operating conditions.

Technology description including background systemDuratec LC is a three-layer PVC pipe manufactured by multilayer co-extrusion. All background processes were modelled using ecoinvent v3.11 (cut-off). Post-consumer recycled PVC is modelled according to the cut-off approach, whereby upstream burdens from previous life cycles are excluded and recycling impacts are included. Internal process scrap is recycled within production and does not leave the product system boundary.
Scrap (recycled material) inputs contribution levelLess than 10% of the GWP-GHG results in modules A1-A3 come from scrap inputs

Data quality assessment

Description of data quality assessment and reference yearsThe data quality assessment identified no poor or very poor datasets among those contributing at least 80% of the environmental impact results, assessed in line according to EN 15804+A2 Annex E Table E2 and EN 15941. Overall data quality is evaluated as good for geographical and technological representativeness and very good for temporal representativeness, with reference year 2024.

The share of primary data is calculated based on GWP-GHG results. It is a simplified indicator for data quality that supports the use of more primary data to increase the representativeness of and comparability between EPDs. Note that the indicator does not capture all relevant aspects of data quality and is not comparable across product categories.

Description of the process flow diagram(s)

The raw materials (PVC, post-consumer recycled PVC, calcium-carbonate filler and additives) are transported to the Wavin Bogotá production facility in Colombia, where the pipe is manufactured through compounding and three-layer co-extrusion, with a core containing at least 20% recycled PVC. Internal production scrap is recycled back into the process, and the pipe is calibrated, cooled, cut to length and socketed for distribution. Module A4 and modules B1–B7 are not declared. At end of life, the product is directed to 100% sanitary landfill (C1–C4), with the net loss of secondary PVC leaving the system reported as a burden in module D.

Module C: End-of-life

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module CEnd-of-life Scenario
Brief description of the default scenario in module CIncludes Deconstruction, transport to waste treatment & Landfill
Description of the default scenario in module CThese lifecycle stages include deconstruction of the pipe system, transport of the waste to the disposal site, and final disposal in a sanitary landfill. No recycling or energy recovery of the main product materials is considered. The End-of-life scenario assumes 100% of the product mass is directed to sanitary landfill reflecting the prevailing waste-treatment practice in Colombia. Deconstruction (C1) and waste processing (C3) are declared with zero impact, while transport to the landfill (C2) is modelled over approximately 80 km by road and final disposal (C4) covers landfilling of the full product mass.

Module D: Beyond product life cycle

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module DModule D
Brief description of the default scenario in module DThere are no benefits once the product has been sent to landfill
Description of the default scenario in module D In module D, the post-consumer recycled PVC that entered the product as a secondary input is not recovered at end of life; this net loss of secondary material is therefore reported as an environmental burden (positive values), and no reuse, recovery or energy-recovery benefits are credited.
