The pollution and exploitation of our environment is omnipresent. While plastic in the sea and pollution of the air are discussed a lot, hardly anyone deals with the soil that transports our most important food: drinking water. With “Good Reason”, the European Association for Ductile Iron Pipe Systems (EADIPS® / FGR®) is starting an initiative that addresses this issue and advocates the expansion of high-quality and safe cast iron pipe systems. There is more than just one good reason for this: cast iron pipe systems guarantee the best water quality with the highest level of safety, are 100% recyclable, recyclable and conserve resources, are produced regionally and ensure that our cities are cooled. “Especially in times of climate change and globalization, it is important to strengthen sustainable and regional solutions - especially if it is the best solution for all of us. If we use the best product for a secure supply of the best water and also produce it regionally, then that is an all-win situation, ”explains Manfred Künze, EADIPS CEO. The best pipe system: 100% recyclable and regionally produced Buried invisibly in the ground, the drinking water supply lines in Germany, Austria and Switzerland alone have a combined length of approx. 581,500 km and are to be operated for 100 years or more. A good reason for choosing cast iron pipes because they are extremely durable and can be 100% recycled. A cast pipe therefore never ends up in the garbage, but becomes a pipe, a fitting or a fitting again. “Especially in times of crisis, it is important to have a safe and regional supply and disposal network. If important components or raw materials first have to be imported from overseas in the event of failures or problems, this can have serious consequences, ”explains Christoph Aigner, Deputy CEO of EADIPS. The European Association for Ductile Iron Pipes (EADIPS®) / Fachgemeinschaft Guss-Rohrsysteme (FGR®) e. V., based in Herten, Germany, is a scientific and technical association. Together with the member companies, the professional community advocates the creation of quality standards in pipe production. Climate change, digitization, circular economy and supply chain laws are of great importance.
