AFAS AND FUMIGANT STEWARDSHIP

  • Australian Fumigation Accreditation Scheme (AFAS)

    The Australian Fumigation Accreditation Scheme (AFAS) is a bilateral arrangement between the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (the department) and participating overseas government agencies. AFAS manages the high biosecurity risk posed by ineffective methyl bromide (MB) treatments performed offshore.

    Treatment providers registered under AFAS are trained in AFAS requirements and undergo regular compliance assessments. This provides increased confidence in the pre-export MB treatment conducted on goods imported into Australia.

  • ECO2FUME®

    ECO2FUME® fumigant gas is a ready-to-use, nonflammable mixture of phosphine and carbon dioxide that enables effective fumigation in a wide variety of sealed-storage applications when used in accordance with the label. It is an effective alternative to methyl bromide and aluminum phosphide-based fumigants that delivers results, meeting fumigators' goals when time and efficacy matter most. ECO2FUME® is dispensed external to storage or structures using simple techniques that avoid applicator exposure, eliminate confined space entry and remove the need for spent fumigant disposal.

  • ProFume®
