The ASP Access Floors Sustainability Policy outlines how ASP endeavors to use recycled materials and reduce greenhouse gas and carbon emissions.
The implementation of the Sustainability will ensure ASP:
The aim of this policy is to incorporate ecologically sustainable development principles in every facet of design, manufacturing, logistics and installation with the introduction of the following key objectives :
Objective: ASP ensures that our VOC content on our pedestal adhesive and concrete slab sealer is in line with the Green Building Council Requirements.
Solution: All ASP adhesives are water-based and so are nontoxic. The Green Building Council requirement is not more than 50g/kg VOC for sealants and adhesives. The ASP test data concludes that the nominated pedestal glue and concrete sealer are both under the recommended 50g/kg. Please find VOC datasheets attached at the rear of the policy.
Objective: ASP Access Floors aims to minimise the waste material produced on each project.
Solution: ASP Access Floors offers their waste minimisation perimeter floor installation system. This system maximises the usable amount of cut panels around the perimeter hence minimising the waste material.
Objective: ASP Access Floors aims to produce access floor panels with a high percentage of recycled material.
Solution: The recycled content data sheet can be found attached to the rear of the sustainability policy.
Objective: To conduct LCA study, compile an EPD and obtain verification
Solution: In life cycle assessment, an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized way of quantifying the environmental impact of a product or system.
Step 1. ASP conduct an LCA according to ISO 14 040-44 standards.
Step 2. Develop the EPD
- Develop EPD document including LCA results and the product description
- Develop a Project Verification Report (PVR)
Step 3. Verification and registration.
A third party expert verifies:
- The EPD document
- The PVR
- The LCA study
- And files a Verification Report
Registration with the EPD programme operator
- The EPD document, the Verification Report, the registration form and a short description of ASP Access Floor is filed and signed off by the EPD programme operator
