REDIT REQUIREMENT
a) Rapidly Renewable Materials / Recycled Materials /
Sustainable Timber
1 credit for flooring comprising rapidly renewable material, recycled
material, sustainable timber flooring, or a combination of those
prescribed materials that contributed at least 50% of all newly
installed flooring.
2 credits for demonstrating 100% achievement;
b) Regionally Manufactured Materials
1 credit for flooring materials manufactured locally within 800km
radius from the project space, and contributed to at least 50% of the
newly installed flooring material.
c) Environmentally Manufactured Materials
1 credit for flooring material (or composite material) manufactured by
organisations which ALL have implemented an Environmental
Management System (EMS) and contributed to at least 50% of the
newly installed flooring materials.

Criteria
a) Rapidly Renewable Materials / Recycled Materials /
Sustainable Timber
The Applicant shall quantify the flooring products, rapidly renewable
material, recycled materials, sustainable timber, or a combination of
those prescribed materials, based on the floor total surface area.
Composite products comprising rapidly renewable material, recycled
material, or sustainable timber, that exceeds 50% by Mass shall
qualify.
Use equation 1 to determine compliance.
b) Regionally Manufactured Materials
The Applicant shall quantify the flooring products which are
manufactured within 800km radius, based on the total surface area of
floor. For salvaged material, the location of material source shall be
treated as the point of manufacture.
For composite products, only the portion, by Mass, manufactured or
sourced within 800 km radius shall qualify as regionally manufactured
material.
Use the equation 2 to determine compliance.
c) Environmentally Manufactured Materials
The Applicant shall quantify all flooring products based on the total
surface area of floor, sourced ALL organisation(s) with manufacturing
facilities or factories having already implemented an Environmental
Management System (EMS).
