As part of our ongoing support of sustainability rated building and infrastructure projects,<\/em>\u00a0a select range of our reinforcing bar, reinforcing mesh and merchant bar products have been successfully certified to the Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) Steel Standard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In May 2023, select\u00a0reinforcing bar<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0reinforcing mesh<\/a>\u00a0products manufactured by InfraBuild to AS\/NZS 4671 (referred to as “InfraBuild’s Reinforcing Bar and Mesh Products”) were independently certified as meeting the requirements of GECA’s\u00a0Steel & Steel Products (SSPv1.0i-2019)<\/em><\/a>\u00a0lifecycle ecolabel standard.<\/p>\n

Additional products, including InfraBuild’s innovative SENSE 600\u00ae reinforcing bar and SENSE 600\u00ae TrenchMesh\u2122 range, and our 500E reinforcing range, were added to the GECA Certification in 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n

In May 2026, InfraBuild achieved recertification to the same GECA Standard of all these products, as well as select InfraBuild merchant bar products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

GECA is a recognised Product Certification Initiative within the GBCA’s Green Star rating tools. Products certified by this initiative may contribute to a project’s Green Star rating through the Responsible Structure credits.<\/p>\n

GECA’s\u00a0Steel & Steel Products (SSPv1.0i-2019)<\/em><\/a> Certification has a Responsible Product Value (RPV) of \u2265 15.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As such, our GECA Certification can support either a ‘Credit Achievement’<\/strong> or an ‘Exceptional Performance<\/strong>‘ outcome in the\u00a0Responsible Structure<\/a>\u00a0credit within the GBCA’s ‘Green Star Buildings’ ratings tool.<\/p>\n

GECA is also recognised in the Infrastructure Sustainability Council’s IS Ratings tools and supports the highest possible Sustainability Factor <\/strong>for InfraBuild’s GECA Certified products used in ISC rated projects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is GECA?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The GECA certification scheme, following internationally recognised\u00a0ISO 14024 principles<\/strong><\/a>, is an Australian not-for-profit multi-sector lifecycle ecolabelling program.<\/p>\n

The independent assessment to obtain the GECA ecolabel independent tick is a robust process underpinned by rigorous standards, which look at impacts across a product’s entire lifecycle, from the extraction of raw materials to the end of its life and conformance to the applicable GECA standards is assessed by a third-party assurance provider.<\/p>\n

The GECA certification for InfraBuild’s select reinforcing bar, reinforcing mesh and merchant bar products is valid for three years from the date of certification.<\/p>\n\t

A word from GECA<\/h3>\n

“At GECA, it’s always a cause for excitement when we welcome a new ecolabel licensee to the GECA family! However, InfraBuild’s certification is a particularly momentous occasion as they are the first organisation under our Steel & Steel Products standard. What an incredible achievement! InfraBuild has gone through the rigour of a third-party assessment to show that their reinforcing bar and reinforcing mesh products are better for people and the planet.<\/p>\n

InfraBuild has demonstrated sustainability leadership in the sector and the broader Australian marketplace by certifying under our lifecycle ecolabel standard. Congratulations InfraBuild, on your commitment, and we look forward to a long and fantastic partnership with you.”<\/p>\n

Josh Begbie – GECA CEO<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t
