Product

Current Attributes

Our products have been developed and are designed specifically to protect the environment from spills of harmful chemicals or to slow down and help prevent flooding.

They have been developed through extensive customer engagement with ease of installation as a key design feature. Lightweight recyclable Polyethylene contains less that 10% of Embodied Carbon compared to similar products made with concrete.

Our products are manufactured to maximise their design life of up to 100 years and still be fully recyclable at the end or their working lives.
(UN Goals 3,6,9,11,13, and 15)

Future Initiatives

All new product development will have Sustainability as a prerequisite.

We will continue to use recyclable Polyethylene as our main raw material in the products that we make which will be used to design alternatives to heavier solutions in the built environment.
