In towns and cities around the world, green roofs and sky rise gardens are being added to public and private buildings, transforming the urban environment. This quantum shift in the soft landscaping of metropolitan areas is being driven by the need to respond to climate change.

VYDRO substrate is a unique hydrophilic material unlike any other currently available. Capable of storing up to 30 times its own weight in water, this breakthrough Smart Water Management solution is a highly effective planting medium for intensive and extensive green roofs, green walls and landscaping applications.
