The Freestone ECO Retaining Wall System is a more sustainable DIY, vertical retaining wall. Freestone ECO retaining walls are suitable for most retaining or garden wall situations, engineering design assistance is available.
The concrete Blocks for the Future come in a fantastic range of colours & unique finishes. Blocks for the Future are the premium choice for building designers who are after a building block that not only looks great, but benefits the environment. Blocks for the Future are more sustainable than other products on the market because they are manufactured with up to 40% recycled glass aggregates which provide a unique surface finish.
The environmental benefits are enormous as natural resourced aggregates such as sand and metal dust, are replaced in manufacture by a potential landfill product. Due to the cementitious value of the finely crushed recycled glass, cement usage is reduced by 10% – therefore importantly reducing CO2 emissions whilst still achieving excellent product strength.
