When cities and residential areas are looking more and more like the concrete jungle, we find ourselves asking the question: “Where did all the plants go”. With smaller gardens featured in homes and businesses only possessing one or two pot plants, there is a vast cry-out for living green walls. What are green walls you ask?

The aim of a roof is to protect the building from the effect of the weather, especially the humidity. An ordinary roof fulfils those requirements perfectly. But other ways are also possible, for example by choosing a ‘green roof’. A green roof looks attractive. This visual aspect has a positive effect on the mood and physical health of people.

Due to the thermoplastic properties of their principle components (bitumen, polyester reinforcements, polymers, fusible plastic film), bitumen waterproofing sheets can be converted into mass bitumen products like road asphalt – significantly reducing the demand for virgin bitumen. Indeed in the case of high quality waste, bitumen roofing can be recycled to become bitumen sheets once again. When reused to cover roads, bituminous waterproofing sheets thus form a viable and sustainable stockpile of oil constituents.
