The Plastics Pipe Institute Inc. (PPI) is the major trade association representing all segments of the plastic pipe industry and is dedicated to promoting plastics as the material of choice for pipe applications. Plastic pipe systems are a sustainable and environmentally responsible choice that will serve generations to come. They are energy efficient during manufacturing and provide peak protection from contamination during service. Strong, durable, light-weight and flexible, these piping systems require significantly less energy to fabricate, transport and install than metal or concrete alternatives. With superior resistance to corrosion and abrasion, plastic piping systems also supply long service life, excellent joint performance and offer leak free protection-all adding up to exceptional value. Mission: To promote plastics as the material of choice for pipe applications. Objective: To provide a forum for member companies to work cooperatively toward broadening the market where plastic pipe systems can be used. Products: Pipe, components and pipe systems that serve virtually every underground utility and application where pipe is used. Examples of spheres of influence include Fuel Gas, Oil Patch, Nuclear Energy, Municipal Water and Industrial Systems, Sewer, Stormwater Management, Drainage Telecommunications, Conduit and Building and Construction Systems for Hot and Cold Water and Radiant Heating.
