Release: May 2, 2017
Leading innovator of urban landscape solutions, Citygreen, today announced the launch of a new eBook ‘The “Greening” of Plastic: Recycled Thermoplastics and Green Infrastructure’, authored by ASLA, LEED Green Associate, Richard J. Magill. The eBook examines the primary concepts behind the role of recycled plastics in green infrastructure projects, then looks at more-specific sustainable applications moving forward.
Citygreen has long been an advocate of the importance of recycled plastic, with its innovative Stratavault structural soil system the only of its kind to be constructed of 100% recycled plastic polymers; ensuring maximum environmental benefit and ‘Green Building’ contribution. Due to the emphasis Citygreen places on environmentally sustainable systems, an incredible 400,000+ kg of plastic are saved from landfill every year.
Not only is Stratavault green, it’s also 100% stronger than other brand soil cells, with a highly-engineered system that owes much of its incredible strength to a unique design (subject to numerous patents). So strong is this design that Stratavault has an ultimate strength in excess of 300kpa/43.5psi without relying on any steel bars (subject to corrosion), glass reinforcement, or virgin resins.
Ben Gooden, Founder and CEO of Citygreen, said, “On first look, there are lots of similar structural soil systems on the market. But take a closer look, and it becomes evident that they’re actually miles apart in terms of their environmental and strength credentials. We’re proud of the fact that our Stratavault system is the only structural soil cell made from 100% recycled plastic. Not only is it a genuinely environmentally-sustainable product, it’s also two times as strong as the alternative, making it a real no-brainer. It’s been wonderful to see clients around the globe embrace this technology in order to deliver truly sustainable developments that achieve multiple environmental outcomes.”
