Green credentials
Every part of the module is made with recycled materials and is itself recyclable.

THE SYSTEM
Living walls can act as living insulation and help filter the air. Not only do they cool the ambient air temperature but they can even have a cooling effect upon the building the system is attached to. Glare is also significantly reduced when compared with standard hardscaped walls. Installing this system reduces water run-off and can be adapted to benefit from a water harvesting or grey water system. Living walls also provide sound insulation.

THE STRUCTURE
Each module is made from HDPE which is fully recyclable. The fixing bars are composed entirely from a recycled materials mix of PE and PPE.

 

THE PLANTING
The advantages of a living wall system go further than simply the aesthetic benefits of improving barren cityscapes. The diversity of plant species within these living walls provides unique possibilities for habitat preservation and the protection of local flora and fauna, even within an urban setting. Rare urban habitats can be created for birds & insects, contributing to the overall health and sense of wellbeing of everyone.
