The Furniture Passport Australia System (FPAS)

A Solution: The Furniture Passport Australia System (FPAS)

To meet the ESP Policy’s demands, and the increase of sustainability reporting requirements, the AFA and the Australian Furnishing Industry Stewardship Council (AFISC) have proposed the Furniture Passport Australia System (FPAS). The Furniture Product Passport System aims to transform supply chain transparency and sustainability in the furniture industry.

Key Features of the FPAS:

Furniture Passports

Comprehensive records of a product’s DNA throughout its lifecycle, sustainability compliance, verification of certifications and carbon tracking tools.
