Environment, Health & Safety
Concerns about a material’s effects on the environment and human health and safety should be top-of-mind during the material selection process. Lubrizol made these factors a priority when formulating Corzan® CPVC.
Corzan CPVC has earned green certifications, helps mitigate health risks from Legionella and keeps people safe from aggressive chemicals.
Environmental Impact and Corzan CPVC
Corzan CPVC’s commitment to providing long-lasting, resource-conscious materials spans from our behind-the-scenes efforts to develop the most efficient practices to an end product that maximizes its life cycle.
To fully understand the impact of our products and to support the needs of architects, Lubrizol completed a life-cycle assessment for Corzan Piping Systems globally and in North America. The result is a baseline report that assesses the cradle-to-grave environmental impacts of the system, including the raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, use and end-of-life stages. The evaluation was conducted by third-party agency, ERM, and was peer-reviewed by Dr. Walter Klöppfer, Editor-In-Chief of the International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment.
