While it may seem hard to believe that plastic is better for the environment than metal pipe, PEX proves that it’s possible. Since copper tubing weighs more than PEX, it requires significantly more energy to both refine and melt into shape. And, once PEX is installed, the energy efficiency gets more prominent. There is less heat loss with PEX than copper, and PEX is freeze resistant so less energy is needed to heat the water running through PEX pipe. This adds up to a more environmentally friendly product that saves you money, too.
