The founders of the Copper Sustainability Partnership (CuSP), Lawton Tubes and Mueller Europe, have announced that all their copper products now come with a 75-year warranty, insuring them for life against manufacturing defects
This industry-leading 75-year warranty is part of the Copper Sustainability Partnership’s ongoing commitment to highlighting the strength of copper. When installed and maintained correctly, copper pipes can last up to 80 years, twice the life span of plastic equivalents.
The new warranty is applicable for all plumbers and specifiers purchasing copper products from both manufacturers and covers any manufacturing defects.
Oliver Lawton, co-founder of the Copper Sustainability Partnership, said: “Material choice in plumbing is not just a matter of installation convenience. Water pipes should be viewed through the lens of safety, performance, and durability. UK plumbing pipes need to perform reliably over many years, often under changing temperatures, variable pressure, and daily use. This is why this new warranty is in place.
“We believe and trust in copper piping as its proven, robust and resistant to many issues that affect its plastic equivalents, but if any manufacturing faults were to occur, we know that our customers have peace of mind that the issue will be resolved and recycle their old pipes to be used again.”
Copper is an infinitely recyclable material that can be recovered and reused time again without any loss of quality. The new 75-year warranty from CuSP co-founders, Lawton Tubes and Mueller Europe, gives plumbers and consumers protection in the unlikely event of a manufacturing defect occurring.

The Copper Sustainability Partnership (CuSP)
Born from the ambition to challenge the plastics greenwash within construction and plumbing, CuSP champions environmental thinking, insight sharing and collaboration across industries to encourage the use of copper as a more sustainable choice.
Founded by Lawton Tubes and Mueller Europe (Wednesbury Tube), the partnership comprises of two competing copper tube manufacturers who have joined forces to promote the environmental benefits of copper and speak out against the plastic greenwash. CuSP welcomes organisations and academia to join their cause, championing the use of copper in the built environment.
CuSP is using copper as the driving force to expose the inaccuracies commonly seen in the plastics greenwash and to stand up for green construction, building a greener, more sustainable future.
