FUTUREBUILD SHOW PREVIEW
Urban trees also form part of a circular economy – but to maximise the benefits , these need to be properly planted , and grow to maturity . This is the raison d ’ être of GreenBlue Urban – assisting trees in their struggle to survive in a hostile environment . Whether it is providing soil support by using RootSpace soil cells , guiding tree roots with products from the ReRoot root management range , bringing air and water to the rooting zone with RootRain irrigation and aeration solutions or physically protecting the tree from above ground damage with tree grilles and guards .
The GreenBlue Urban innovative solutions enable trees to grow to their species potential longevity . All the below-ground products are manufactured from 100 % recycled materials and are recyclable up to 5 times once they have finished their life . This is central to the GreenBlue Urban philosophy , as our vision is to bring environmental benefits to communities around the world , and the least possible carbon footprint .
With policy insisting that all developments of more than 150 residential units , buildings over 30m in height or commercial premises over 2500m ², a Circular Economy Statement must be submitted , along with a Whole Life Carbon Assessment as part of the planning process . This aims to reduce waste and pollution , and in time , will help achieve the net-zero carbon commitments . It is suggested that circular economy strategies could deliver emissions reductions that could limit the expected temperature rise by half – an incredible benefit .
The circular economy has been described as not just a change in the way we operate , but a new way of thinking . GreenBlue Urban are proud of our story , how we have increased canopy cover globally with the many benefits to our climate , air , water , biodiversity and quality of life for all .
