Embodied carbon avoided
3,222.53t CO₂e
Estimated product-stage CO₂e avoided versus Class 2 concrete pipe — running total.
Embodied carbon calculator
Compare HydraStorm rHDPE with a selected Class 2 concrete pipe option using published A1–A3 EPD data.
1. Select the concrete alternative
* Range-average option uses Class 2 pipe weights with a published mixed-class EPD factor.
2. Enter the required installed metres
