Drainage Kerbs made from Recycled Polymers
The project is using drainage kerbs made from recycled waste polymers, packaging, freezer bags and single use plastic bottles.
Using products made from recycled polymers ensures that a valuable resource is not sent to landfill or used as a fuel.
A drainage kerb made from recycled waste polymers also has a lower carbon footprint than an equivalent concrete drainage kerb. The plastic drainage kerbs can themselves be recycled when they reach the end of their design life, an example of the circular economy in action.
They are also lighter than an equivalent concrete drainage kerb and can easily be lifted by one man. This reduces the risk of muscular-skeletal injuries from manual handling.
