The concept of a circular economy is not new \u2013 in fact, the linear economy characterised by taking, making and disposing of has only existed since the industrial revolution. In previous eras, very little was thrown away.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The truth is that it\u2019s far more convenient and sometimes cheaper to manufacture products from virgin material, and nearly always the quality is more consistent.<\/p>

GreenBlue Urban has always been committed to the circular economy principle \u2013 and it is far wider than just product manufacture. A circular economy is a wide economic system that works to challenge global issues such as waste and pollution, but also climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution \u2013 both air and water. In setting such massive goals, the circular economy needs a huge shift in thinking, by all of us.<\/p>

Planting trees is a perfect example of a circular economy, as the tree provides multiple benefits during its life, and can be used to manufacture products when it is cut down. Removal of a plantation tree results in space left for new tree planting, bringing employment to often rural areas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Urban trees also form part of a circular economy \u2013 but to maximise the benefits, these need to be properly planted, and grow to maturity. This is the raison d\u2019\u00eatre of GreenBlue Urban \u2013 assisting trees in their struggle to survive in a hostile environment.<\/p>

GreenBlue\u2019s innovative solutions enable trees to grow to their species potential longevity. All the below-ground products are manufactured from\u202f100% recycled\u202fmaterials and are\u202frecyclable up to 5 times\u202fonce they have finished their life.<\/p>

Rather than disposing of end of use plastics in landfill or by incineration, we use this recycled polymer to assist trees to grow and sequester the carbon produced by the manufacture of the original material.<\/p>

2020 saw the launch of\u202fRootSpace Ocean,\u202fmanufactured from reclaimed marine waste \u2013 further reducing the impact on the environment. Using nature-based solutions is central to the GreenBlue Urban philosophy, bringing environmental benefits to communities around the world.<\/p>
