Acrovyn and Sustainability
Protecting the environment is a journey, not a destination. CS recognises its responsibility to current and future generations for its role in the preservation of our global environment. We are proud of the contribution we make to sustainability and are continually working towards more environmentally-sound practices across our operations worldwide.
SAFE FORMULATION
Acrovyn materials are free from persistent bio-accumulative toxins (PBTs), Bisphenol-A (BPA) and halogenated or brominated fire retardants.
VOC RELEASE
When tested to ISO 16000 for the release of Volatile Organic Compounds, our products achieved an A+ rating.
PVC-FREE SOLUTION
Acrovyn PVC-Free is our most environmentally friendly wall protection range and is proven to be as strong and durable as traditional Acrovyn.
CRADLE TO CRADLE CERTIFIED™
Newly awarded Bronze Level Cradle to Cradle certification for Acrovyn PVC-Free Sheet evaluates a product’s sustainability across its entire lifecycle, giving customers confidence to specify it in green building schemes.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Some of our European operations have achieved ISO 14001 Environmental Management accreditation, while others are working towards it.
RESPONSIBLE MATERIAL SOURCING
We use wood from FSC- or PEFC-certified suppliers and our aluminium retainers are produced using up to 60% recycled aluminium content. Any factory metal waste is recycled or alternatively, custom lengths can be manufactured to reduce wastage.
GREEN BUILDING SCHEMES
Acrovyn products are designed to be robust, long lasting and to maximise the lifespan of the interior building fabric. They may contribute to sustainability schemes such as BREEAM or LEED.
