EPD TR6

Molecor has achieved the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for one of its most prominent PVC solutions for water management: the TR6® pipe, the first PN6-oriented pipe designed specifically for irrigation. This certification adds to those already obtained for other notable products, including the AR® Soundproof Evacuation System, TOM® Pipes and ecoFITTOM® fittings in Oriented PVC, and the SANECOR® Corrugated PVC System.

This voluntary certification underscores Molecor’s commitment to sustainability and its dedication to assessing the environmental impact of its plastic pipe solutions. The TR6® PVC-O pipe stands out as a sustainable option for irrigation due to its reduced carbon footprint and lower energy consumption throughout its lifecycle.

The EPD, a Type III ecolabel, was developed in compliance with EN ISO 14025 and is based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies in line with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. It considers the entire lifecycle of the product— from cradle to grave, i.e. from the acquisition of raw materials through production, distribution, installation and use to the final disposal after long-term use. 

The Product Category Rules (PCR) used in the assessment follow EN 15804:2012 + A2:2019 standards, which establish the environmental parameters to declare, lifecycle stages to evaluate, processes to include, and conditions for comparison between EPDs. The LCA was conducted using the SimaPro software, utilizing emission factors from the Ecoinvent database in its latest available version.

AENOR, an independent verification body, ensured the accuracy and reliability of the environmental data provided by Molecor. The EPDs were registered within the Global EPD program, administered by AENOR, and recognized by the ECO Platform.

By pursuing eco-labels and certifications, Molecor reaffirms its commitment to sustainable construction and hydraulic infrastructure development. The company emphasizes the preparation and verification of EPDs as vital tools in minimizing environmental impacts within the construction sector.
