Bondor Is Invested in Sustainable Environmental Performance.
Bondor® is committed to the continual improvement of our environmental practices and maintaining sustainable building practices, evident throughout involvement with PACIA’s Sustainability Leadership Development Framework. We are committed to using recyclable or reusable materials wherever possible. All of our products are non-ozone depleting and thermally efficient, which saves in energy costs and benefits the environment. Our range of products are backed by Environmental Product Declarations (click to view). These EPD’s are based on Life Cycle Assessment with ISO 14025 and EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 providing a comprehensive scope of cradle to gate (with options).
Recyclability
The COLORBOND® steel skins of all Bondor® insulated panels are 100% recyclable and have been made by BlueScope® Steel with 10-30% recycled scrap. Bondor® uses fully reusable or recyclable EPS-FR cores for many of its products, and proudly support the ESPA (Recycling Expanded Polystyrene Australia) initiative.
Reuseability
Bondor’s insulated sandwich panels can be easily dissembled to be reused and reconstructed for other applications.
Reduction
Bondor’s insulated panels contribute significantly to reducing the amount of energy used to keep Australian buildings within comfortable temperature range, as they provide reliable insulation and a wall/ceiling/roof in one product. The panels also have the ability to provide continuous insulation that reduces or eliminates thermal bridging, compared to standard framed construction methods which can have disrupted insulation (which has significant contribution of heat loss/gain through thermal bridging).
All of Bondor’s insulated sandwich panels reduce the amount of material used in the construction process, which reduces landfill over standard framed construction methods (as they’re custom made to order).
Australia’s Health
Bondor’s insulated panels use non-ozone depleting pentane to blow its insulating core for EPS-FR and PIR, and the mineral fibre uses air entrapment, helping to promote a sustainable construction method to protect Australia’s future. These panels provide a consistent level of insulation that is impervious to compression, water vapor, vermin, termites and rot, which decreases the risks of structural damage whilst improving the living quality for Australia.
These insulated panel products also contribute to Australia through their ‘buildability;’ as they significantly shorten the construction times, which provides economic, social and environmental benefits to the community.
Local manufacturing
With manufacturing sites in each state, Bondor not only supports local industry but also reduces the number and length of transport journeys to site, reducing transport related carbon immissions in the construction process.
