What is Global GreenTag Certification?

How Hard is Getting GreenTag Certified?

From resource extraction and energy use to chemical emissions and social impact, products bearing this certification have passed stringent evaluations. Recognised globally, and domestically by the Green Building Council of Australia, Global GreenTag helps consumers and builders alike identify products that achieve genuine sustainability benchmarks. This certification operates under two primary programs, LCARate and GreenRate, each designed to address different aspects of environmental and product life cycle impacts:

LCARate assesses products against a comprehensive set of sustainability criteria, including six main categories and over twenty life cycles and social criteria. Products are awarded Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum levels, indicating their overall sustainability performance relative to a baseline ‘Business as Usual’ product. This program is instrumental for professionals seeking to meet the Green Building Council of Australia’s Green Star® ‘Life Cycle Impacts’ credits.
GreenRate levels of recognition are tailored to green design and procurement, aiding in achieving points under the Green Star® ‘Sustainable Products’ and ‘Green Cleaning’ credits. This program is designed for professionals in infrastructure, facilities management, and procurement, ensuring they select products that comply with high sustainability standards.

Billi’s Dedication to Sustainability with Global GreenTag

The Billi Quadra range excels in delivering instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water through a single under bench unit paired with a stylish above-bench tap. The units are designed with space efficiency in mind, eliminating the need for bulky kettles and allowing users to customise temperatures and carbonation levels on units with Sparkling Water functionality.

Our commitment to sustainable manufacturing is perhaps most evident in the Quadra and Quadra Plus ranges, both proud bearers of the Global GreenTag. With over 30 years of innovation, Billi’s systems use advanced technology and are crafted with a keen focus on environmental conservation. Manufactured in Melbourne, these systems distinguish themselves in the market through:

Water Efficiency: Each Quadra unit is designed to minimise water waste, crucial for both environmental sustainability and operational efficiency.
Energy Efficiency: Leveraging Billi’s patented thermodynamic heat exchange technology, the Quadra range captures waste heat from the chilling cycle and reuses it to preheat water. This process significantly reduces the energy consumption typically associated with heating water.
Durability: Built to last, Quadra systems are robust and reliable, suited for both residential and commercial environments. The systems are constructed with a safety switch, space-saving design, and insulated with polypropylene to reduce heat loss.
Environmental Consideration: Quadra uses R290 Natural Gas refrigerant, known for having no ozone depletion potential and a negligible direct global warming effect—a critical feature in today’s climate-conscious market.
Innovative Technology: Features like electronic flow control (Splash Free™ technology) ensure efficiency and user comfort. The standby mode and built-in time switch are designed to cut power consumption when the unit is not in use, avoiding unnecessary energy use.
Safety and Compliance: All Quadra units come with a comprehensive two-year warranty and are Watermark certified, ensuring they meet stringent Australian standards for quality and safety.
