PVC has clear environmental advantages over traditional materials. Because PVC is a low carbon plastic, It requires less energy and fewer resources to manufacture. Due to their low weight and less energy is used when transported. PVC  last long with a minimum of maintenance and they are easily recyclable.  For instance three-layer pipes where the core layer is made of recycled PVC. Moreover, the ultra- smooth surface of PVC reduces pumping costs and energy use, and their leak-free fittings eliminate water loss.This is good for both the environment and the utility bill.
