China's environmental label is a kind of label marked on the product, which is the "certification trademark" of the product. It shows that the product is not only qualified in quality, but also meets the specific environmental protection requirements in the process of production, use and disposal. Compared with similar products, it has the environmental advantages of low toxicity, less harm and resource saving.
The implementation of environmental label certification, in essence, is to control the environmental behavior of "AUGREEN" products in the whole process from design, production, use to waste treatment and reuse. According to the environmental product standards and relevant regulations, the state designated institutions or non-governmental organizations confirm the environmental performance and production process of the products, and inform consumers which products meet the requirements of environmental protection in the form of logo graphics, which is more beneficial to the ecological environment.
Platinum for BEAM Plus & LEED, 3-Stars for China Green Building Label
We are more than happy to announce that CaSO Sky becomes the first interior in Hong Kong achieves Platinum rating under BEAM Plus Interiors and LEED, and 3-Star rating under Green Building Label of China Building Decoration Association! With the ambitious commitment to green environment, we strive to transform our building environment from harm to harmony. Under CaSO Sky, an eco-friendly conceptual design and management interior, you may not just enjoy the benefits from installing AUGREEN Block Wall System, you may also find the mystery of Energy, Water, Indoor Air Quality, Carbon and Waste Control Management. We were pleased to share CaSO Sky and our product – AUGREEN Block Wall System and continued increase in sustainable development.
AUGREEN wall system puts “Sustainable Development” in an innovative way.
√ Encourage power plants to use FGD plant which produces more economic values;
√ Reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide released in the atmosphere (i.e. Acidic Rain);
√ Reduce air pollution;
√ Protect the natural environment and wild species (Individual & Corporate Social Responsibility);
√ Transform environmentally hazardous materials to excellence-quality building materials, which is beneficial to our living environment. (CaSO's Mission)
*Remark: Chemical gypsum is produced from FGD plants in removing sulphur dioxide in the flue gas from power plant. The plant works on the limestone-gypsum wet scrubbing principle with wastewater treatment. CaCO₃ + SO₂ > CaSO₄ • ½ H₂O The Limestone (CaCO₃) slurry reacts with sulphur dioxide (SO₂) in the flue gas. The intermediate product (calcium sulphite, CaSO₃) is then further oxidized into gypsum (calcium sulphate, CaSO₄, 2H₂O). After a process of de-watering, chemical gypsum (CaSO₄ • ½ H₂O) is being produced for commercial use.
√ Use clean energy (e.g use fume-less coal to generate heat);
√ Adopt natural drying at outdoor during dry seasons (no energy consumption);
√ No pollution in production process (no noise, water or air pollution);
√ No wastage in production (re-use all small residual materials);
√ High quality in production (minimize returning of poor product by reference to 6 sigma management);
√ Low carbon footprint in every step (raise staff & stakeholders’ conscious and behaviour)
√ Saving energy in the gypsum production process than cement saving 50%
√ The same material can use more than 70% (ie coverage)
Our factory locates at Panyu, which is within 200 km coverage to our key markets, including Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong Province, consuming much less energy than the requirements stipulated in BEAM+ or LEED (i.e. 800km).
√ No metal mesh, lintel and steel stiffener (minimize extra material and installation works that incurred extra energy consumption)
√ No plastering on both side of wall
√ No wet trade on site (better site environment)
√ Enhance site safety & health (no mosquito breeding, no risk of slippery flooring and electrical shock leading to injury and damage)
√ Easy cutting or chasing for conduit trenches
√ No wastage (re-use small cutting pieces for filling up holes or trench for conduit)
√ Flexible layout alteration (allow forming new openings ( < 2m ) after wall built due to homogeneous property, then re-use those cut blocks (in size 500x500mm) for building new wall)
√ Regulate relative humidity (air moisture absorb (in wet season) and release (in dry season) brings environmental comfort)
√ No VOC, radon and harmful substance (human health)
√ No heavy metallic substance
√ pH value 6-8 (close to human skin)
√ Sound proof (i.e. one layer can achieve up to 46 dB STC)
√ Thermal insulation (5 times better than concrete block leading to high energy saving)
√ Fire-rated (up to 4hrs FRP)
√ Light weight (being 1.5 times lighter than concrete block can save materials used on foundation and loading bearing structure to support its dead load)
√ Green label and a list of environmental awards (public recognition)
AUGREEN Block Wall System can be demolished by cutting the wall panel into block size (around 500x500mm) by top down method. These cut blocks can then be re-used for building a new wall with bonding agent. The level of maintenance is very low due to the elimination of metal mesh, plastering, steel stiffener and lintel.。
√ Longer overall life cycle (compare with concrete)
√ No need for maintenance/low level of maintenance (no need for metal mesh, ash, rebar, steel frame, etc.)
√ Reuse of existing walls
√ Cut wallboard to dimensions (about 500x500mm)
√ Re-use the cutting block to build the new wall with binder
√ Recycle
√ Delivered to the factory for recycling
