    Pakistan is not just facing the issue of reduced water availability per capita but also poor water supply & sanitation infrastructure. Since, PVC can be used for making versatile products ranging from pipes to geo-membranes; therefore, as sole manufacturer of PVC in Pakistan, EPCL wants to play an active role for improving water conservation and sanitation infrastructure of the country with PVC based interventions.

    Innovative solutions like use of PVC Geo-membranes for canal, water courses lining and installation of drip irrigation for field application of water can help in reducing water usage in agriculture sector which uses more than 90% of total water available in the country. Also, roof top rainwater harvesting by using PVC pipes can help in localized water storage and ground water re-charge. In the domain of sanitation, installation of PVC pipes can help in safe disposal of fecal waste and reduce contamination of drinking water resources. This small intervention has the potential for significantly reducing water–borne diseases in Pakistan.

    EPCL is currently partnering with various governmental non-governmental stakeholders for not just promoting above-mentioned solutions but also continuously looking for other avenues as well where PVC based products can create a positive impact in improving water conservation & sanitation infrastructure of Pakistan. MoU with Water Aid Pakistan is also one of the steps in achieving this goal.
