Roofing Industries is the largest NZ owned and operated metal roof and cladding manufacturer in New Zealand. Committed to reducing their environmental impact, they have taken steps to operate with sustainability in mind.

The Global Greentag® Certification is an internationally recognised organisation dedicated to providing a trustworthy guide for eco-friendly and sustainable products, worldwide.

Roofing Industries recently achieved Global GreenTag Greenrate Level A certification for their roll-formed Metal Roofing, Cladding, Flashing, and Rainwater Systems using ColorCote® coil products from their 14 branches throughout New Zealand.

The Environmental Choice® tick is a New Zealand Government endorsed initiative to recognise products which meet high eco-friendly and sustainability standards. Environmental Choice® operates to an internationally recognised level. 

This means architects and designers are able to achieve two points towards their Homestar or Greenstar projects when using Roofing Industries Roofing/Cladding/Rainwater products made from NZ Steel at their Albany Auckland branch, and from both Waikato Branches – Sunshine Ave and Wintec.

In Addition, there has been a recent change to Homestar in that it now recognises the EPD’s (Environmental Product Declarations) as an acceptable means of compliance under MAT-1 Sustainable Materials Credit.

This allows architects and designers to achieve up to 1.5 points when using Roofing Industries roofing/cladding products made from NZ Steel products under the COLORSTEEL®  EPD at all 14 Roofing Industries branches.

Contact Roofing Industries technical helpline on 0800 844822 to discuss how to achieve Homestar or Greenstar points for your project.
