OUR ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
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 aim of this policy is to incorporate ecologically sustainable development principles in every facet of design, manufacturing and installation with the introduction of the following five key objectives:
AREAS OF FOCUS
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.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION
ASP Access Floors are the only access floor company in the Southern Hemisphere to have obtained an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD®).
An Environmental Product Declaration, EPD®, is a verified document that reports environmental data of products based on life cycle assessment (LCA) and other relevant information and in accordance with the international standard ISO 14025 (Type III Environmental Declarations).

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Maintenance should be carried out regularly to retain the appearance and durability of the floor. The floorcovering should be maintained with regular sweeping or vacuuming. Floors can be cleaned using a microfibre mop or cloth dampened with warm water. For textured tiles use a microfibre string mop. For smooth surface tiles use a flat microfibre mop. If spot cleaning is required use a neutral cleanser. The floors should only be cleaned with a neutral pH cleaner; all-purpose cleaners that contain crystallizing salts, alkali, or acids should be avoided, Dry floors using a dry mop. It is not recommended that floors be left to dry naturally.
SEALING
ASP Concrete Porcelain panels require the application of a post installation impregnating sealer. Acting as an extra precaution, sealants will help repel against stains and etching and assist in your floor’s longevity.
