SUSTAINABILITY

Our commitment, our investment

AFS is committed to delivering products and manufacturing processes which are both innovative and environmentally responsible. The company has invested in and implemented systems to target recycling of raw products—particularly with the use of galvanised steel and timber packaging of products.

The PVC Stewardship Program (administered by the Vinyl Council of Australia and independently audited) is an on-going, long-term, voluntary undertaking by the Australian PVC industry to recognise, and progressively address, relevant environmental, health and safety issues along the PVC product life-cycle within responsible, deliverable timeframes.

AFS has Silver status in this program, which focusses on five key themes associated with the PVC life-cycle:

  • Best Practice Manufacturing
  • Safe and Sustainable Use of Additives
  • Energy and Greenhouse Gas Management
  • Resource Efficiency
  • Transparency and Engagement

As a signatory to the stewardship program AFS is committed to manufacture and supply sustainable solutions to the building industry in an environmentally responsible manner.
