Environmental & Sustainability

Building Better Spaces.
Responsibly.

Verified. Transparent. Circular.

At Greenhawk, sustainability is integrated into every stage of our raised access floor systems — from responsible material selection and manufacturing to indoor environmental quality and end-of-life recyclability.

Our CF Series raised access floor is independently tested and internationally certified to support sustainable construction, healthier indoor environments, and green building projects across the Middle East — backed by internationally recognised environmental documentation and compliant with globally accepted standards for life cycle assessment, material transparency, and indoor air quality.

Certification

International Environmental Product Declaration

Greenhawk's CF Series raised access floor is certified with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) under The International EPD® System — one of the world's most recognised environmental assessment programmes.

ISO 14025 ISO 21930 EN 15804+A2

Unlike marketing claims, an EPD is an independently verified document that transparently measures the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle — from raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation and installation, through to end-of-life processing and recycling potential.

Certified under
The International EPD® System

Circular Economy

Designed for a Circular Economy

Our raised access flooring has been engineered with long-term sustainability in mind — built to last, and built to be recovered.

25+ yrs

Long Service Life

CF Series panels are designed with an expected service life of more than 25 years, reducing replacement frequency and minimising material waste across a building's lifecycle.

85%

Steel Recyclable

Approximately 85% of the steel in our panels can be recycled. Recycling steel reduces demand for virgin raw materials, lowering the footprint of future construction projects.

80%

Core Recoverable

Around 80% of the cementitious core can be recovered and reused as construction aggregate, supporting responsible end-of-life recovery.

Composition

Material Transparency

Our Environmental Product Declaration provides complete transparency regarding the composition of our panels. The CF Series consists primarily of:

High-strength cementitious core
Steel construction
Protective epoxy coating
PVC inserts
Environmentally responsible packaging materials

The product also contains post-consumer recycled material within its cement composition, contributing to resource conservation.

Safe Materials

No SVHC Above Limits

The Environmental Product Declaration confirms that Greenhawk raised access floors do not contain Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) above the regulatory threshold of 0.1% by weight — supporting safer material selection for modern buildings.

<0.1% by weight

Verified SVHC threshold compliance under REACH regulatory requirements.

Life Cycle Assessment

Low Environmental Impact Manufacturing

Our manufacturing process has been independently assessed through a complete Life Cycle Assessment using internationally recognised methodologies. Production data is based on actual factory information and independently verified using internationally accepted LCA databases — ensuring reliable environmental reporting.

Recycling Benefits

Indoor Environmental Quality

Healthier Indoor Air Quality

Creating healthier indoor environments is as important as reducing environmental impact. Greenhawk raised access floors have successfully passed California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Standard Method v1.2 for VOC emissions.

Independent Laboratory Testing Confirms

Extremely low Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) emissions
Formaldehyde emissions well below allowable limits
Individual VOCs comply with stringent indoor air quality requirements

Where It Matters

These low-emission characteristics help create healthier working environments across:

Corporate offices and commercial buildings
Data centres and technical facilities
Educational institutions
Healthcare projects

Green Building

Supports Green Building Certification

Our raised access flooring can contribute toward sustainable building certification programmes internationally. Independent VOC testing confirms compliance with indoor air emission requirements recognised by LEED v4.1 and BREEAM International.

Registered and published under The International EPD® System — verified to ISO 14025, ISO 21930 and EN 15804+A2.

LEED®

Contributes toward LEED v4.1 credits for low-emitting materials.

Estidama

Compliant with UAE Pearl Rating System requirements.

BREEAM

Meets BREEAM International indoor air quality compliance.

Low-Emission Specs

Satisfies green building specifications requiring low-emission materials.

Fire & Safety

Fire & Safety Performance

Alongside environmental performance, our raised access flooring complies with internationally recognised fire safety standards — providing peace of mind for mission-critical environments including data centres, commercial offices, government facilities, healthcare institutions and industrial buildings.
