Next Guest on Talking Green: Troy Creighton Managing Director - Stormtech
Talking Green interviews Stormtech's Managing Director Troy Creighton on the company's outstanding sustainability journey at Design Show Australia 2023.
On this episode, Global GreenTag talks with Stormtech's Managing Director Troy Creighton, revealing the benefits of GreenTag certification from an industry perspective at Design Show Australia 2023 in Melbourne.
To ensure the best sustainable outcomes during the certification process, Stormtech has made decisions to reduce chemical use and electricity as well as to acquire modern equipment. The results were very positive, leading to less input costs.
Troy says: "being sustainable has actually saved us money."
Moreover, through their product stewardship program, Stormtech has implemented waste reduction practices by responsibly sourcing vinyl for their PVC components and ensuring that only one tenth of their PVC goes into landfill as cutting dust.
In terms of certification, Stormtech's Slimline rage has been awarded a Global GreenTag Product Health Declaration™ (GreenTag PHD™) with a PlatinumHEALTH™ Asthma & Allergy Sensitive™ HealthRATE™ certification outcome and a Global GreenTag Environmental Product Declaration™.
The Global GreenTag Product Health Declaration™ recognises progressive manufacturers who fully disclose the ingredients of their products and then goes on to rate the healthiness of the product in use.
In addition, the extended version of HealthRATE™ the Global GreenTag Asthma & Allergy Sensitive™ certification is undertaken in combination with the Global GreenTag Product Health Declaration (PHD™) and HealthRATE™ "Healthiness in Use' rating scheme.
Furthermore, EPDs are a product manufacturer's passport to new green markets where projects using green rating tools undertake whole project Life Cycle Analysis (LCA).
Over the years, Global GreenTag International and Stormtech have been working together in this inspirational journey, that began long ago with Global GreenTag's predecessor Ecospecifier.
