Carbon-Neutral Access Floor Solution by ASP Access Floors
With more than two decades of experience, ASP Access Floors has developed and patented multiple unique access floor designs that have been used in some of the most iconic projects worldwide. Ongoing research and development allow ASP Access Floors to produce innovative solutions that offer quality, versatility, and infinite support.
At ASP Access Floors, we understand the importance of creating sustainable building solutions. That’s why we offer a range of eco-friendly and resilient flooring products and services, including our flagship Icon Series and Urban Series, designed to minimize environmental impact throughout their entire product life cycle.
Icon Series
The Icon Series offers a range of sustainable access floor panels and systems designed to meet modern construction needs while reducing global warming.
Made from high-quality, environmentally friendly materials, the Icon floor panels are durable, fire-resistant, and moisture-resistant, ensuring a long lifespan and reduced need for replacements. This means significant carbon reduction throughout the building’s life cycle.
These panels also feature highly recycled content, contributing to LEED and Green Star requirements for sustainable building practices. This aligns with the principles of a circular economy, minimizing waste and maximizing resource use.
The Icon Series also features access floor systems designed for specific environments like data centers, offering permanent anti-static properties and easy maintenance.
Urban Series
The Urban Series is a sustainable solution for modern construction projects, offering a range of access floor panels and systems designed to minimize environmental impact.
The Urban Panel, for instance, is constructed with a gypsum fiber core encased in galvanized steel, providing outstanding strength and durability while requiring minimal maintenance. These panels also contribute to green building certifications with their high recycled content.
The Urban Interlock Panel features a sturdy core made from sustainable materials, reinforced with a galvanized steel base for superior weight distribution. Its interlocking edges eliminate movement, ensuring a stable stone or tile flooring substructure.
Certified Carbon Neutral Access Floors
Upgrade your project to a fully certified carbon-neutral system. We measure the carbon footprint of our access flooring systems through Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and make sure we address the environmental impact of each one.
Beyond Sustainable Products
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the products we manufacture. Here are some of the ways we are working to reduce our environmental impact:
Responsible Material Sourcing
We actively seek out raw materials with low embodied carbon and high energy efficiency for use in our products. This goes beyond simply choosing materials. It’s a proactive approach that considers the environmental impact of a material throughout its lifecycle, from extraction to processing and transportation.
Reduced Product Weight
Lighter access floor systems mean less fuel required during transportation, resulting in a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions associated with getting the materials to the building site. Lighter floor systems put less strain on the building structure, which can contribute to a more energy-efficient building.
Optimized Logistics
We take a multifaceted approach to “green” logistics. We don’t just pick the shortest route – we optimize for efficiency by using smarter routes, consolidating shipments, and even exploring alternative transportation methods like trains or ships when possible. This reduces our environmental impact throughout the supply chain.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
We have EPDs for our products. These verified documents give a clear picture of our product’s impact from start to finish, allowing both ASP and our customers to benefit:
- Customers: You get the data you need to make informed choices about sustainable building materials.
- ASP: We can identify areas to reduce their environmental footprint throughout the product lifecycle, leading to continuous improvement and boosting the credibility of our eco-friendly claims.

Building a Better Tomorrow
ASP makes eco-friendly access floors using recycled materials, reducing carbon emissions, and optimizing its supply chain. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve, like using more recycled materials and exploring eco-friendly alternatives. We are transparent about their environmental impact and how they meet high sustainability standards.
Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
As a member of the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and the US Green Building Council (USGBC), ASP Access Floors’ Environmental Policy outlines how ASP endeavors to:
Use Recycled Materials
Incorporating recycled materials into our products helps reduce demand for virgin resources and minimizes landfill waste. This contributes to a more circular economy where materials are reused and repurposed.
Reduce Carbon Footprint
Minimizing our carbon footprint is another key aspect of ASP’s environmental policy. This involves actions throughout our supply chain, from sourcing materials to manufacturing and transportation. Lowering our carbon footprint helps mitigate climate change and its associated environmental issues.
Optimize Supply Chain
An optimized supply chain can significantly reduce the environmental impact of a company’s operations. This might involve streamlining processes, using local suppliers whenever possible, and utilizing energy-efficient transportation methods. All these efforts contribute to a more sustainable production cycle.
Focus on Continuous Improvement
ASP actively seeks ways to minimize environmental impact through:
- Utilizing certified renewable energy sources in steel manufacturing
- Increasing the use of recycled content in core mixes
- Improving raw material extraction and production
- Exploring eco-friendly panel core alternatives
- Optimizing product weight and distribution routes
- Implementing a future product stewardship program for recycling access floor components
We are constantly exploring ways to become not just carbon neutral, but even carbon negative, through innovations in material science and manufacturing processes.
Transparency & Compliance
ASP prioritizes transparency and adheres to rigorous environmental standards including:
- Publishing verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
- Operating under an ISO 14001-compliant Environmental Management System (EMS).
- Ensuring product compliance with relevant Australian and international standards for sustainability and carbon neutrality.
