Standards
  • Status:
    Superseded
  • Issue Date:
    July 6, 2017
  • Green Star Applicable
    Green Star is Australia's trusted mark of quality for the design, construction and operation of sustainable buildings, fitouts and communities. Choosing Green Star can help you save money, create a healthy place for people, minimise your environmental footprint and build a better future for us all.

Update: This version of the standard has now been superseded. Please see the new equivalent standard.

Due to its properties such as strength, durability, affordability, and availability of raw materials, concrete is a popular choice for many building projects. However, the environmental consequences of cement and concrete production can be significant and major environmental loads stem from the sourcing and manufacturing phase in the life cycle, such as sourcing of raw materials, water and energy usage, and release of CO2.

Recent sustainable initiatives are aiming at improving cement and concrete production and composition, and lessen its environmental impact. The GECA standard is seeking to support and reward these efforts to minimise the impacts of cement and concrete products. It enables manufacturers to gain access to credits under green building/infrastructure rating tools and provides assurance for green procurers and specifiers when looking for products with a lower environmental impact.

The Cement, Concrete & Concrete Products (CCCPv1.0i-2017) standard covers three distinct sub categories:

🔸 cement and supplementary cementitious materials (such as blended cements and alternative non-Portland cements);

🔸 concrete (including ready-mix and concrete manufactured in temporary batching plants on site); and

🔸 concrete products (such as masonry, precast concrete, pipes, roof tiles, and autoclaved cellular concrete).

Fitting out such a large project with sustainably preferable furniture is rewarding. That a well-renowned and international company would choose to use GECA certified Office Link Group furniture is exciting and without doubt, a step in the right direction for improving sustainability in the workplace. The whole work zone looks great — the architect has done a wonderful job of creating the space. With the addition of the sustainably preferable products that are proven to improve the health and wellbeing of those in the workspace, it is now a really nice place to work.
