Chutunic® EVO: a 50-year-old innovation gets a sustainable upgrade

Some innovations stand the test of time — and then get better. Chutunic®, a drainage solution from Aliaxis’ Nicoll brand that has been enabling water from multiple sanitary appliances to drain through a single pipe for five decades, has been relaunched in a new version that incorporates 20% recycled PVC while enhancing overall product performance.

Developed at the Nicoll research and development facility in Cholet, France, the Chutunic® EVO demonstrates what is possible when eco-design principles are applied to established products. Rather than replacing what works, the team improved it — reducing material use and embedding circularity without any compromise to the quality customers rely on.
