ECO -BUILD

This impressive green wall was installed by WallPlanter, a beautiful use of planting on a vertical plane has an extremely positive effect on the surrounding environment and atmosphere.





ZinCo - Premium green roof systems

Highwood - Originators of Synthetic Wood

This company takes waste materials such as packaging for electronics, waste drinking cups and other materials that are hard to break down. They then melt this down and blend with other components to form synthetic wood. They generate no waste during manufacture and can again be completely recycled. The finished wood requires no maintenance. They can make this wood to look like any natural timber, it is stronger, more consistent and will last longer.

I found this new material quite impressive with its ideal qualities. Its finish is very believable, even the cut ends looked like the texture of natural wood! A great turnaround for what was waste material.
