RAUTITAN flex green

The sustainable universal pipe: More than 90% CO₂ savings in the manufacturing process.

Sustainable construction is not only becoming ever more important but is also increasingly becoming the norm. The focus is on energy and resource consumption, from the construction of a building to its demolition. The aim: climate protection and a circular economy. But of course, Sustainable construction comes at a cost: it requires a great deal of effort and courage to lead the way. Let’s tackle this challenge together and develop buildings that are fit for the future. Our new drinking water and heating pipe, RAUTITAN flex green, is based on renewable, bio-based raw materials and can help you achieve your sustainability targets. It not only allows you to conserve fossil fuels, but also significantly reduces your carbon footprint.

How the use of sustainable raw materials works.

Renewable, bio-based raw materials proportionally replace fossil fuels in plastics production. These raw materials include vegetable fats that occur as industrial waste and by-products in the food industry. ISCC certification based on the mass balance

approach ensures that the proportion of renewable raw materials used in plastics production can be transparently traced along the entire value chain. The PE raw material used for RAUTITAN flex green therefore consists of 100% renewable

bio-based raw materials according to the mass balance approach. ISCC certification proves this. For every ton of ISCC-certified, renewable raw material used in production, the same amount of certified PE-Xa pipes can be made.

Benefits with every metre.

Just as reliable

RAUTITAN flex green achieves a permanently leak-tight connection with fittings and compression sleeves. The pipe itself is the sealant, with no O-rings and no manual labelling.

Just as clean

The lead-free RAUTITAN flex green pipe system is hygienically optimised for drinking water installations. The smooth inner pipe walls and excellent impermeability of the cavity-free jointing technology effectively prevent contamination.

Just as flexible

RAUTITAN flex green is highly unlikely to buckle, especially in the case of small pipes. Despite this, the pipe is flexible: you can easily bend it over your thumb without any tools, even at low temperatures.

For drinking. For heating.

Our new RAUTITAN flex green offers the same benefits as the tried and tested RAUTITAN flex. The pipe is made of high-performance PE-Xa plastic and contains a special oxygen diffusion barrier – making it suitable for both drinking water installations and heating.

There are no limits to this system.
The universal RAUTITAN system has been in use in over 40 countries for more than 25 years. Be it plumbing, heating or gas installations, RAUTITAN gives you the flexibility you need for individually tailored solutions. In addition to a wide range of pipes, the REHAU universal system also includes hydraulically optimised fittings and compression sleeves that have proved themselves a billion times over, as well as appropriate RAUTOOL installation tools.

Environmental product declarations

Verifiable sustainability.

The use of bio-based raw materials in RAUTITAN flex green is ISCC PLUS-certified. ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) is a global certification programme for the circular economy. The aim is to establish sustainable raw material chains and verify these based on the mass balance approach, among other things.

The resulting reduced carbon footprint of RAUTITAN flex green is verified by a lifecycle assessment/EPD. A lifecycle assessment analyses a product’s environmental impact throughout its lifecycle.

Building certifications

We are here to help.

We can help you successfully achieve sustainable building certifications, such as BREEAM, to demonstrate compliance with ecological, social and economic requirements for the lifecycle of a building.

REHAU helps you achieve certification by providing the necessary information in its manufacturer declaration of product conformity and sustainability requirements.
