Architects tell there are not many local options for sustainable building materials - so I'm proud to announce Critical. Cleanstone are now both Living Building Challenge™ (LBC) and Green Star certified!
This is a game-changer for your eco-conscious projects. Share this post to your designer mate to help promote locally made materials that are better for our planet.
Here's what Cleanstone's certifications mean for you - SOUND ON 😂 :
Reduced Environmental Impact: LBC and Green Star are rigorous certifications that ensure materials meet strict sustainability criteria.
Enhanced Project Credibility: By incorporating certified materials like Cleanstone, you can elevate your design proposals and showcase your commitment to sustainability.
Streamlined Certification Process: Using LBC and Green Star certified materials simplifies the overall certification process for your projects.
Here's a technical breakdown of Critical. Cleanstone's benefits that are now 3rd party verified and tested in a lab:
1. Near carbon neutral. Cleanstone now have an emissions profile of avg. 0.0028CO2e/kg. This means compared to materials that use virgin plastics as part of their ingredients, Cleanstone can help avoid circa 1,250x the carbon emissions.
2. Cleanstone is fully circular. Made from 100% recycled plastics, that firstly will last a lifetime. But if trends change, Cleanstone can be returned to Critical. to be made into new Cleanstone, endlessly
3. Cleanstone is Red List ingredients free and does not emit VOCs contributing to healthier fit out environments; well because, it's made from 100% recycled plastics ... nothing else.
