Earn Green Star PVC credits with Garland and Roadworx cables
Madison Technologies’ Garland and Roadworx cables were recently identified as compliant with the Vinyl Council’s Best Environmental Practice (BEP) Guidelines. This compliance means that under the Green Building Council of Australia’s (GBCA) Green Star rating tool, a building project can claim up to two points towards its Green Star rating.
Projects where the vinyl flooring and resilient wall coverings, cable, pipe and conduit (which together account for the majority of PVC use in buildings) meet the compliance requirements of the Best Practice Guidelines for PVC in the Built Environment Guidelines are eligible to claim the two points.
The Vinyl Council of Australia’s criteria have been developed to demonstrate Best Environmental Practice (BEP) PVC. In order to earn points under the credit, PVC pipe, conduit, wire and cable, wall coverings and flooring products must be independently verified as meeting the BEP criteria.
