This Ecospecifier accreditation for the company's plaster products follows closely on the accreditation recently awarded on Gyproc ceiling tiles.
According to Ecospecifier SA, all products submitted for evaluation by Saint-Gobain Gyproc achieved accreditation verifying them as commercially available, environmentally preferable products or materials that have environmental qualities that reduce potential environmental impacts across their life cycle.
Rigorous evaluations
The range of plasters were subject to rigorous scrutiny and underwent evaluations by Ecospecifier SA for Life-cycle Assessment, Human Health Risk Assessment, Ecological Quality, Resource Depletion, Corporate & Social Sustainability and Green Building Scheme Assessment. In addition, it has been confirmed that these products are likely to contribute to the achievement of Green Building rating tool credits.
The accreditation affirms that the products do not contain significant quantities of substances that have harmful ecological or health impacts. The accreditation also confirms that the products were not sourced using processes harmful to high conservation value and/or remnant natural ecological communities or bio-reserves. The products do not create major environmental or health degradation.
"We are very proud to be able to add our plaster products to the stable of products, including plasterboards for walls and ceiling and our range of ceiling tiles, which have all earned the highly valued Ecospecifier accreditation in the past six months and confirms our commitment to the impact our products have on the environment and urban habitats, whilst demonstrating sustainability," says Evan Lockhart-Barker, general manager of marketing at Saint-Gobain Gyproc.
