Toitū is a nationwide science focused organisation that supports and empowers sustainability in businesses.
In recent years Allproof have taken tangible steps towards improving the sustainability of their operations. Achieving a Toitū bronze certification on their main production facility located in Auckland adds further credibility and acknowledgement to Allproof’s environmental and social commitments.
Toitū enviromark® certification assesses a business using a robust Environmental Management System (EMS), designed to reduce environmental impact and enhance operational efficiency. An EMS is simply a structured approach to managing environmental risks and opportunities, providing a clear pathway to sustainable business practices.
Toitū bronze certification focuses on best business practice ensuring that all legislative steps around health, safety and environmental factors are well addressed, planned, implemented and regularly reviewed. By monitoring these dimensions of the business through an EMS Allproof can ensure it is operating in the most responsible way possible.
Allproof values the environment and the communities it operates within; these values have driven the improvements that have been implemented over recent years. Allproof operates a waste reduction and on-site recycling program to reuse all waste materials from its own production processes. Additionally, there are waste separation facilities so that any waste that can’t be recycled back into its products is responsibly dealt with.
Allproof manufacture a wide range of products from 100% recycled Polypropylene sourced from post-consumer streams. Using recycled materials in products with a long service life significantly extends the lifecycle of plastic and reduces landfill waste.
Allproof’s main production facility covered by the Toitū enviromark bronze certification harnesses clean energy generated onsite by 450 solar panels installed on the roof. This solar panel installation prevents 50 tonnes of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere every year.
These commitments and investments coupled with Allproof’s transition to an electric and hybrid vehicle fleet, best environmental practice (BEP) certification, biodegradable pallet wrap, support to local environmental groups (Pest Free Kaipātiki) and strong health and safety procedures using cutting edge PPE technology illustrate Allproof’s core sustainability values.
Obtaining certification through a well-established and highly respected independent organisation such as Toitū adds authenticity to Allproof’s sustainability commitments. This certification now gives specifiers and users of Allproof products even more confidence that the company understands and values sustainable business practices.
