One of the roles of the World Plumbing Council is to promote the link between good plumbing and the environment and I am delighted to welcome this new publication which demonstrates that the plumbing industry has a significant role to play in so many aspects of environmental protection. Whether it is in relation to the use, conservation and reuse of water or in the work which is increasingly being done to recognise that fossil fuels must be used more efficiently and supplemented or replaced by the use of renewable sources of energy including the sun, wind, air and water, then the plumbing industry is a major player.

Many politicians and others take the view that the move towards greater environmental
awareness will create a new industry. In reality, many of the new technologies are simply an
extension of the work of the plumbing industry- this publication aims to explain the role which the
industry plays.

Intended as a companion publication to "Health Aspects of Plumbing".

WPC hopes that the "Environmental Aspects of Plumbing" will become a valuable resource for use both by people working inside the plumbing industry as well as those interested in the use of the technologies described in this publication.
