Innovative modular green roof

Despite their major benefits for the environment, conventional green roofs are not widely used as they require extensive complex construction works, installation of drainage foils, bringing in and sowing the substrate on site, which is time-consuming. Therefore, despite their positive features, such roofs are rarely the option selected by the investors, who need to perform demanding and expensive activities to prepare such roofs, and who face tight deadlines usually precluding the construction of such roofs.

Solution

Innovative modular green roofs are a finished product characterized by an easy and quick installation, better technical characteristics (lower weight, modular construction etc.), lower price compared to conventional green roofs and easier maintenance after installation. Unlike conventional green roofs, modular green roofs can also be installed on sloping roofs. Because of all these advantages, increased demand and application of such green roofs is expected.

Additional info

Simpler and easier construction will contribute to the increase in areas under green roofs in urban settings, which will directly contribute to the reduction of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and indirectly to the establishment of the market of recycled plastic that will be used in horticulture.
