GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE
GREENBLUE URBAN – CELEBRATES 30 YEARS !
The last 30 years have been an astonishing journey – from a small one-man business operating from a domestic garage to today ’ s highly organised efficient operation , centred near Hastings and distributing to over 30 different countries . This growth has been driven by a desire to improve the quality of life for urban users globally by revolutionising the design and implementation of urban green infrastructure .
Trees and the urban environment have always been at the heart of what we do . Far too many trees die prematurely in our heavily engineered towns and cities . Overcoming the many constraints for tree establishment is our expertise .
Included in our passion for green within our grey spaces is a firm committal to reduce waste material being discarded into landfill or burnt in incinerators .
Every year GreenBlue Urban repurposes millions of tonnes of waste plastic by turning this end-of-life polymer into products which support healthy tree growth and assist with storm water management . This refusal to use virgin material costs GreenBlue Urban more – but confirms our dedication to the environment and to the reduction of our carbon footprint .
Importantly , we manufacture in Britain , for the European market . This is unique in this sector , GreenBlue Urban has recently purchased the manufacturing company that make our products , bringing in-house so that we have full control of our material sourcing and quality control .
Working closely with BBA , GreenBlue Urban have achieved a BBA certificate for the RootSpace soil cell system – a first in the world . Testing continues to upgrade this certificate to gain a higher rating ; again , this has not been achieved by any other soil cell . In the meantime , we are about to launch the EPD for the system – an Environmental Product Declaration , which can help achieve a better BREAAM rating on new buildings .
Moving our brand towards ; Green , Blue , Smart Space and Air , innovation and product development continues for the long term , look out for celebratory events in Manchester and London and the launch of Edition 10 our NEW Urban Design Guide !
