Greener cities with nonwovens by Freudenberg Performance Materials
Textiles that bring roofs and facades to life.
As cities continue to grow rapidly, they require innovative concepts to balance the demand for more residential space with the need to preserve our environment on a global scale. Nonwovens by Freudenberg Performance Materials provide a surprisingly easy and effective solution for greener cities by creating vertical green spaces.
Our products for green roof systems are making a difference
Greening the roofs and facades of buildings: Freudenberg Performance Materials green roof systems allow plants to grow while protecting the buildings.
Multiplying the greenspace in only clean the air and convert CO2 to oxygen, but the vegetation also insulates the buildings, thuslowering their carbon emissions. Less energy is needed to heat or cool the buildings to a comfortable temperature. Also, the nonwovens used in the green roof system are made from recycled PET bottles, thus reducing waste and carbon emissions.
