Pioneering Green Innovations
LEED and BREEAM
Our products and systems can also help organisations to gain two key environmental assessment standards: LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method).

FSC Accreditation
Kingspan access flooring ranges are the only ones in the world to have third party chain of custody accreditation under the
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) scheme. This enables customers worldwide to recognise Kingspan’s products as ones that support the growth of responsible forest management.
Recycling Scheme
Kingspan is the only access flooring manufacturer in the UK to operate a pioneering recycling scheme to reduce the amount of waste for landfill that is generated by the installation of access floors. Under the scheme we receive site returns of off-cut panels from our customers. The steel and chipboard in the off-cuts are then separated in a £250,000 shredder at our Hull site and then recycled so they can be put back into the manufacturing process.
Hull Site Initiatives
Virtually no waste from our Hull manufacturing site now goes to landfill:
• general waste is compacted for recycling
• production waste chipboard is shredded and recycled
• sawdust is recycled
• cardboard, metal and vinyl waste are collected for recycling
• pallets are reworked or turned into biofuel.
Low Emission Delivery Vehicles
When you receive a UK delivery of Kingspan access flooring it is brought to you in a vehicle that conforms to stringent low emission standards.
