ADS’s recycled plastic pipe manages and
protects water and communities across North America
In recognition of America Recycles Day, Advanced Drainage
Systems, Inc. (NYSE: WMS) (“ADS” or the “Company”), a leading
provider of innovative water management solutions in the stormwater
and onsite septic wastewater industries, recognizes the importance
of sustainable and economically viable products to capture, convey,
store and treat water. As evidenced by a recent study from the
National Academies of Sciences, (NAS) titled Recycled Plastics in
Infrastructure: Current Practices, Understanding, and
Opportunities, the use of recycled plastics, which are utilized in
ADS pipes, “has been perfected and is economically viable.”
“ADS fully supports the findings of the study and is excited to
hear NAS, the leading and trusted source for science-based
research, has validated recycled plastic as a sustainable and
economical solution for water management,” said ADS President and
CEO Scott Barbour. “We believe implementing the report’s
recommendations and adopting policies promoting the use of recycled
plastics will make a significant impact on not only our most
precious resource, water, but also meaningfully contribute to the
overall circular economy.”
ADS’s recycled plastic pipe provides several proven
benefits:
- Ideal outlet for plastic waste: Plastic drainage pipe
industry is the largest user of non-food-grade post-consumer
high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
- Waste stream reduction: Single-use plastics are recycled
into plastic pipe, which has a 100-year service life.
- Carbon-smart alternative product for drainage: Compared
to traditional materials, plastic pipe has a smaller carbon
footprint.
- Meets standards for recycled HDPE pipe: Meeting industry
standards allow for quick adoption into project specifications as
evidenced by approval from the American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the American
Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) International.
Additionally, ADS products are designed to last for decades,
significantly extending the life of single-use plastics from its
partners and creating a sustainable solution for plastic waste.
Using recycled plastic reduces the carbon impact of ADS products by
more than 70 percent.
ADS products manage the lifecycle of a raindrop, which has never
been more important given the increased frequency and magnitude of
large-scale stormwater events. These storms significantly impact
communities if there are not systems in place managing water and
have cost cities billions of dollars in addition to causing
economic disruption and environmental damage. The company’s
products help neighborhoods address problems associated with these
disasters, keeping residents safe from flooding and other problems
linked to increased rainfall.
ADS supported NAS’s research and information gathering as part
of this report. To learn more about how ADS manages the world’s
most precious resource, water, through sustainable solutions, and
