"Straw might seem like the very last product you'd use to make your house fire-resistant. But as it turns out, straw panels, made from waste material that's otherwise burned off or discarded, are a secret weapon against flames. As well as being a handy way to prevent fire damage and heat or cold transfers (making buildings more energy-friendly), the straw panels also put a waste product to good use. But the straw panels aren't without their Achilles heel. If they get wet, the panels become spongy and useless. It also means waterproofing is a must." https://lnkd.in/gCn_-yVg #constructionmaterials #constructionsustainability #greenconstruction

Plastic tanks for Rainwater Reuse www.tebasgroup.com.tr Rainwater Tank offers storage solution, Rainwater Harvesting Water Tanks. ‘Rainwater harvesting’ is a term used for the collection, storing and distribution of rainwater for a wide range of uses both commercially and domestically. Collecting water in this way allows the re-use of a valuable resource therefore reducing demand on a mains supply. Examples of what rainwater can be used for include; Flushing toilets Washing clothes in washing machines Plant watering Washing your car Rainwater Tank Filters Without proper filtration, leaves and debris can enter the rainwater tank and ultimately cause blockages. Dirt can also accumulate at the bottom of the tank. Rainwater tank filters help remove leaves and debris before they enter the tank. These filter kits are ideal for larger capacity tanks where access to regular cleaning is limited. It is especially useful when you want to add an additional outlet for a faucet. Rainwater collection at home, factory, field, school rainwater harvesting system Rainwater collection in apartments Rainwater STORAGE in the garden Rainwater collection system in buildings Rainwater collection on site Rainwater collection from the roof rainwater collection at school

Nappy Sack Frame - For continual discharge or accumulation of washwater. The BlueRinse Nappy Sack helps your site go from hazardous to harmless by separating solids from liquids with the self-dosing Nappy Sack that will automatically reduce high pH washwater. The Nappy Sack is designed with an oil adsorbent liner that filters down to 20 microns. The fabric is impregnated with MudTech pH Blue, which is gradually released into the water as it flows through. The collected water will typically have a pH below 9. BlueRinse products are the only failsafe way to manage, treat, and responsibly recycle or dispose of concrete wash water.

Polydeck - Viewing / Dipping Platform over-looking Llandrindod Wells reservoir. The viewing platform had to be both extremely water resistant and accessible for all members of the public. Timber had been used previously, on other projects within the area, but proved to have a very limited life span. The council, therefore, were looking for a product with a long-life cycle, high slip resistance and could be submerged in water. Steve Gealy of Powys County Council told us. ‘We have used a number of POLYdeck™ products over the years. Your products have shown that they cannot be damaged by harsh weather conditions in the depths of the Welsh countryside such as snow, freezing or hot temperatures, wetlands bogs, lakes, or just muddy damp/wet woodlands. Other similar recycled products or even wooden oak products can be destroyed in such conditions over several Did you know our POLYbridges contain 140 recycled 500ml plastic bottles per square meter….
