pRODUCT CERTIFICATION & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AT ALLPROOF
Certification
All products are designed and manufactured to comply with New Zealand and Australian standards. We use independent accredited bodies to rigorously test our products and provide certification of approval.
Appraisals
Allproof’s passive fire range is BRANZ appraised. This provides confidence that the range has been rigorously examined by BRANZ, a trusted independent organisation. As part of this process, Branz methodically reviews Allproof’s test reports verifying the results and audits the technical manual to ensure compliance and technical accuracy. To provide additional assurance, Allproof’s quality system and manufacturing process are also evaluated to ensure ongoing product quality. The resulting BRANZ appraisal [No.1088] provides assurance to the passive fire industry that Allproof’s products provide outstanding performance and compliance.
Thinking of a Green Future
At Allproof we are taking every step possible to improve our impact on the natural environment. We have recently installed solar panels on our main facility saving 50 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year. Other steps include initiatives such as using locally sourced post consumer recycled materials as much as possible, we are in the process of converting our vehicle fleet to full EV and hybrid, harvesting rain water and purifying the waste water used in our production processes. We have many more initiatives planned for the future and will continue to update this page as they are implemented.
Using Recycled Plastic
Allproof use locally sourced recycled material as much as possible for the manufacturing of drainage channels, pits/sumps and passive fire protection collars. Domestic Channel, Commercial Channel, Round Pits, Square Pits and Cast-in Fire Collars are all manufactured from recycled polypropylene. We secure this material as much as possible from local sources meaning that shampoo bottles and other plastics placed in recycling bins around New Zealand are repurposed into construction products with long life spans.
Products made from recycled material:
Recycling Plastics In-House
Allproof has processes to recycle any scrap generated during manufacturing its PVC fittings.
Allproof re-processes all in-house scrap. The scrap is collected and granulated into a form suitable for certain injection moulded fittings. Any material that cannot be reprocessed on site is sent to third parties for recycling.
Allproof is also happy to assist you in recycling external waste bought in from building sites, once they are ready to be taken out of the field of service. Please contact us to find out how.
Please direct your PVC recycling enquiries through the contact page on this website. PVC for recycling must be presented in clean washed condition, free of contaminates, rubbish, and non-PVC materials such as paper, earth, vegetation, stones, etc..
