Kingspan Insulated Panels has renewed its Global GreenTag certification for several of its products that contain a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) Kingspan Polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation core.

Kingspan general manager, Jonathan Wormwell, says that the company is committed to supporting a sustainable future and investing in initiatives like Global GreenTag ensures the company can support the construction of green buildings Australia-wide.

“Renewing this certification is the next step in Kingspan’s continued commitment to enhance industry-wide sustainability and is in line with the company’s global Planet Passionate 10-year sustainability program,” he explains.

Kingspan products comply with the ISO 9001 standard, are manufactured to ensure long service life, and are made from high-quality materials using state-of-the-art production equipment to rigorous quality-control standards.
