Bringing nature into our cities is a vital component for a sustainable future to help mitigate the effects of climate change and improve wellbeing. Living walls are a space efficient way to green up our urban areas and bring a host of benefits including improving air quality, helping mitigate the urban heat island effect and increasing biodiversity.
In addition, Green Infrastructure can help to meet CSR targets, satisfy planning requirements, and demonstrate sustainable credentials.
Biotecture’s patented hydroponic BioPanelTM system is the most flexible, resilient, and low water use of any fully comprehensive living wall system anywhere in the world.
