SCG color roof achieves Singapore green label certification
This recognition underscores the group and its business units’ commitment to ensuring the highest standards of quality while fulfilling its environmental responsibility for the customers’ benefits.
The Singapore Green Label is a Type 1 Ecolabel, which is independently verified by a third party based on the life cycle considerations and is issued under the Singapore Green Labeling Scheme. Administered by the Singapore Environment Council since 1999, the scheme is Singapore’s leading environmental standard and certification mark, with over 3800 unique products certified across 43 countries. It aims to help the public identify environmentally preferred products that meet certain eco-standards.
Mr. Veerayut Maneechote, General Director of SCG Concrete Roof Vietnam, said, “At SCG, we have rooted our operation following an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy to reshape our business and secure a sustainable and prosperous future. In light of this orientation, CRVC has quickly transformed itself to fulfill the commitment to sustainability to meet the goals of the group and Vietnam as well. The attainment of Singapore Green Label marks a new milestone as SCG is leveraging ESG initiatives to deliver higher-quality, durable green products. Following this achievement, we will continue to build a sustainable future from the top down with our green concrete roof—durable, eco-friendly, and designed to protect both your home and the environment."
In order to be certified as a green product, SCG Color Roof has passed a rigorous testing and assessment process to meet stringent criteria for product, health and environment, as well as product life cycle. In terms of the product criteria, a toxicity characteristic leaching procedure is performed at a Singapore-based laboratory to determine the potential amount of heavy metals (including arsenic, lead, mercury...) and contaminants. The findings show that SCG color roof does not contain any hazardous chemicals.
Regarding health and environmental criteria, at least 10% of waste is reused as input materials for production. Roof tiles must use one of the cement types specified by Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA). Meanwhile, cement composition is made of specific percentages of fly ash, limestone, or other waste as prescribed by NEA. SCG color roof has fulfilled both requirements by using 100% Portland Cement (PCB50) meeting National Technical Standards (QCVN) 16:2023/BXD as well as comprising 10% municipal solid waste incineration fly ash and 8.5–10% of limestone within the limit set by NEA. Thanks to the properties like green raw materials and green production, the product is not only environmentally friendly but also safe for the consumer's health.
When it comes to a product’s life cycle, CRVC is required to have policies, procedures, and instructions in place for proper storage and handling of input materials, processing of recycled waste, and minimizing carbon emissions into the environment. SCG color roof meets the criteria due to its minimum environmental impact across its life cycle. The product undergoes an unburnt roof tile manufacturing process without using fossil fuels and an annealing process with a consistent temperature of less than 45 degrees Celsius alongside energy-saving technologies.
After a rigorous verification process, four SCG Color Roof series have been evaluated to meet the Singapore Green Label certification requirements. They are the SCG Elites series with curved roof tiles, the SCG Prestige X series with flat roof tiles, Elabana and Prestige roof tiles. The recognition not only establishes SCG Color Roof as a green product but also acts as a guarantee of high quality.
Being a Singapore Green Label-certified product, SCG color roof is widely used across commercial and industrial applications in the localities like Ho Chi Minh City (Fuji Residence, Camellia Garden - Nam Long Group), Binh Duong, Vung Tau (Lavida Residences), Long An (WaterPoint - Nam Long Group), etc.
Amid growing demand to develop sustainable buildings, customers are increasingly opting for green construction and building solutions. The attainment of the Singapore Green Label will enable CRVC to advance green innovations and deliver eco-friendly solutions for sustainable buildings.
