| Ceiling Tile Recycle Case Study At 530 Collins Street - Melbourne |
|
GPT, the owner of 530 Collins St is a leader in environmental sustainability and committed to waste and resource management.
In keeping with this commitment and as part of the overall renovation project, GPT became the first Australian customer to
sign up to Armstrong’s “Ceiling To Ceiling” Recycling Program, generating the following environmental benefits:
- 63,400kg CO² equivalent greenhouse gas emissions avoided
- 193,300 kWh energy saved
- 996 kilo litres of potable water saved
- 1380 tonnes of virgin raw material saved
- 126 tonnes of material diverted from landfill
With Armstrong recycling the old ceiling panels, GPT has achieved an impressive overall recycling rate of more than 90% of
demolition materials.
Nearly 30,000 m² of old ceiling tiles were removed from the 530 Collins St site and shipped to Armstrong’s St Helens plant
where they were used in the manufacture of new acoustical ceilings.
Following the recycling process, GPT ordered new Armstrong Dune Max (high acoustic) ceiling panels and PeakForm Suspension
Grid, both of which have high recycled content and contribute to IEQ.
