Borouge believes that adopting better plastic pipe systems will benefit all stakeholders and, ultimately, result in advanced pipe networks that provide real benefits to communities in the Middle East. Mr Hammer commented, “ Robust and leak-free pipe networks are a fundamental element in any country’s infrastructure. Borouge recognises the role it can play to address the global challenge of clean water availability and sanitation. ” Mr Rob Lawrence, chief executive of GPPA, commented, “The GPPA will offer a range of services based on the needs identified by those working throughout the plastics pipe value chain and we expect to be able to address many of the concerns that will come from the exceptionally tough environment in the region. The GPPA’s unique strength is that its members represent all interested parties, enabling it to be a powerful lobby group on behalf of the industry and its customers.” “The GPPA model also has relevance in the significant pipe markets in India and China, where the full benefits of specified plastics pipe systems have yet to be realised,” added Mr Bjorn Klofelt, vice president of

Plastics Pipe Academy Project. “We have had very positive responses to this joint industry educational initiative from several major Indian and Chinese companies.”
