Which Aliaxis brands currently appear to have public EPDs and for what types of products?

Recent public listings show Marley New Zealand with EPDs for PE pipes and for PVC pipes, gutters and downpipes valid to 2027 (EPD Australasia, 2025), IPEX with a UL‑verified Schedule 40 PVC piping system EPD aligned to the North American piping PCR (ICC/UL PCR listing, 2026), and additional Aliaxis‑branded declarations for inspection chambers and PE electrofusion fittings under EN 15804 programs.

Is there a Product Category Rule to use for North American plumbing piping EPDs?

Yes. The Rigid and Flexible Building Piping Systems PCR for North America is active through January 31, 2026, which supports product‑specific EPDs for PVC and similar building piping systems (ICC/UL PCR listing, 2026).

What is one concrete gap Aliaxis could close to win more specs?

Electrical conduit in North America. A major competitor publicly announced EPDs for PVC conduit and fittings in May 2024, which signals that owners and GCs are asking for them in submittals (Atkore, 2024). Filling that gap would reduce substitution risk.

Aliaxis: Product range and EPD snapshot

Where Aliaxis plays

Aliaxis designs and manufactures plastic pipe, fittings, valves and accessories that move water, wastewater, gas and process fluids across five sectors: building, infrastructure, industry, agriculture and electrical. That footprint is spelled out on their corporate site and matches what we see in the field (Aliaxis, 2025).

See their sustainability pages.

What they sell, in practice

Think complete piping systems rather than one-off parts. Portfolio examples include PVC and CPVC pressure and DWV, PE and PP water and sewer, venting systems, inspection chambers, roof drainage, and electrical conduit. North America’s IPEX brand adds high‑purity PP, PVDF acid-waste, and flue-gas venting systems, while Marley in the Pacific covers civil and plumbing ranges.

How broad the catalog is

Across regions, Aliaxis offers products for dozens of application categories and, conservatively, hundreds of SKUs. It is not a pure play in one niche. The mix ranges from residential plumbing and mechanical to municipal stormwater and industrial process piping.

EPD footprint at a glance

Evidence of EPD publishing shows up under several Aliaxis brands.

Marley New Zealand has product‑specific EPDs for PE pipes and for PVC pipes, gutters and downpipes, each valid until November 25, 2027 (EPD Australasia, 2025) (EPD Australasia, 2025).
IPEX in North America has a UL‑verified EPD for a Schedule 40 PVC piping system based on the North American piping systems PCR. The plumbing PCR covering rigid and flexible building piping is active through January 31, 2026, which supports ongoing declarations under that rule set (ICC/UL PCR listing, 2026).
In Europe and Latin America, Aliaxis‑branded declarations cover inspection chambers and related components, as well as PE electrofusion fittings, under recognized EN 15804 programs.

Where coverage looks thin

Two areas often requested by specifiers appear less visible in public EPD libraries today:

Electrical conduit for North American projects. A competitor has published EPDs for PVC conduit and fittings, signaling demand in this channel (Atkore, 2024) (Atkore, 2024).
Select specialty plumbing or venting SKUs outside the core Schedule 40 DWV set. Where a product family sells in high volumes but the declaration is missing, sales teams are forced to rely on generic or default factors that penalize spec inclusion.

If we missed a newly posted declaration, that can happen because program operators update at different cadences. Still, the public paper trail matters when project teams are screening submittals.

The competitive set Aliaxis meets most often

On building and civil piping, common rivals include Georg Fischer Piping Systems, Wavin from Orbia, Pipelife from Wienerberger, Victaulic for grooved metal systems, and Uponor in PEX plumbing and radiant. Several of these publish product‑specific EPDs across stormwater, chambers, or PP and PE piping. For instance, Wavin’s Tegra 600 inspection chamber is declared in EPD Norway through October 3, 2027 (EPD Norway, 2027) (EPD Norway, 2027). That is exactly the kind of competitor transparency owners now expect on submittals.

Why EPDs move specs, not just optics

Product‑specific EPDs reduce guesswork in whole‑building LCA and help projects meet buy‑clean policies and rating system goals. Program operators underline that EPDs are increasingly used to show compliance in tenders and regulations, which elevates them from nice‑to‑have to must‑have in many bids (UL Solutions, 2025).

A quick win playbook for Aliaxis‑type portfolios

Prioritize the few high‑revenue lines per region where architects and MEP firms most often ask for declarations. In North America, that typically means DWV, pressure PVC, and conduit. In ANZ, major PE and PVC civil lines already have coverage, which is good enviromental hygiene and commercial leverage.
Harmonize PCR choices with the competitors buyers compare against. Using the same active Part B improves apples‑to‑apples read‑through on GWP.
Package systems logically. Where the market buys pipe plus fittings plus solvent cement as a system, declare the system to simplify submittals and shorten review cycles.

Closing thought

Aliaxis is well positioned, with brand‑level EPDs visible in several regions and categories. The fastest commercial lift now likely comes from filling obvious gaps, especially conduit in North America and any best‑seller plumbing lines that still lack declarations. When the spec asks for proof, having the PDF and digital data ready can be the difference between being considered or quietly swapped out.
