ASP Access Floors & Cook’s Construction’s

Sustainability promise

Choose a certified carbon neutral access floor system

ASP Access Floors & Cook’s Construction are committed to reduce the impact of our access flooring on the climate by reducing carbon emissions. With this commitment we are able to offer our clients an option to upgrade their access floor system to a fully Certified Carbon Neutral System.

HOW IT WORKS

ASP’s access floor products in the Icon and Urban series have verified LCA’s and EPD’s. Based on your projects access floor quantities, the carbon emissions for your access floor system are calculated and then offset through the purchase of certified carbon credits. You are then provided with certification of your Zero Carbon or Climate Positive access floor system.

As a member of the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and the US Green Building Council (USGBC), ASP Access Floors’ Environmental Policy outlines how ASP endeavours to use recycled materials, reduce its Carbon Footprint and optimise its supply chain.

The implementation of the policy will ensure ASP:

  • Considers sustainability in all relevant decision making

  • Reduces their greenhouse gas emissions

  • Produces less waste and increase recycling

The results from the LCA and the sensitivity analysis show potential improvements to reduce ASP’s access floor systems’ overall environmental impacts. Areas of focus include:

  • The use of certified 100% hydroelectricity at the steel manufacturing plant

  • Increasing the percentage of recycled cement in the cementitious core mix

  • Finding more environmental alternatives to the panel core

  • Reducing the weight of the whole system to reduce both production and distribution environmental impacts

  • The monitoring of freight services to ensure shipping methods with the best available technology and least environmental impact are used

  • Optimising distribution routes to eliminate unnecessary transport

  • Substituting truck freight with rail freight where practical

Beyond the scope of the study, ASP Access Floors is looking to set up a product stewardship programme to recover and recycle the access floor componentry at their end of their life.
