Garden Drainage UK are developing a world first, recycled plastic panel that enables plants to grow on dense clay and difficult soil types, diverting UK plastic waste away from landfill and keeping roots happy for Lavender plants, hardy shrubs, meadow flower and many other plant varieties.Carl Hopkins, Managing Director has been involved with recycled plastic waste for over 18 years and through Garden Drainage UK Ltd he has successfully brought successfully to market a recycled plastic modular drainage panel used in gardens and sports field environments.This R&D activity follows extensive research and early-stage trials, where the perfect recipe for success has now been closed in on.However, manufacturing a recycled plastic product is extremely challenging and is not a trivial task, specialist expertise has been identified for this final push.Upon success, over 16 million gardeners across the UK stand to benefit, when inadequately draining soil in their garden is replaced with their unique panel, this issue is more common you might think, and generally due to native heavy clay/soil types.The team at GDUK are excited about the impact of this project, as it will make important contributions to the UK economy, Net-Zero targets, circular markets, environment and society, with the potential to divert 8026 tonnes of UK plastic waste from landfill, and the same weight in CO2e net carbon offset.

花园排水英国正在开发一个世界上第一个，再生塑料板，使植物生长在密集的粘土和困难的土壤类型，转移英国塑料废物远离垃圾填埋场和保持根快乐熏衣草植物，哈代灌木，草地花和许多其他植物品种。卡尔霍普金斯，董事总经理已参与回收塑料废物超过18年，并通过花园排水英国有限公司，他成功地将成功推向市场，回收塑料模块化排水板，用于花园和运动场环境。这项研发活动遵循广泛的研究和早期试验，现在已经接近成功的完美配方。然而，制造回收塑料产品极具挑战性，不是一项微不足道的任务，专业知识已被确定为最后的推动力。成功后，超过1600万园丁在英国站受益，当排水不足的土壤在他们的花园被替换为他们独特的面板，这个问题是更常见的，你可能会认为，一般是由于本地重粘土/土壤类型.在GDUK的团队很高兴这个项目的影响，它将为英国经济、净零目标、循环市场、环境和社会做出重要贡献，有可能将8026吨英国塑料废物从垃圾填埋场转移，并在CO2 e净碳抵消方面发挥同等作用。
