The container plants are local varieties especially chosen for their resilience and requiring minimal maintenance.
Benefits of EV in Action
- Generating fresh oxygen reduces the urban ‘heat Island’ effect
- Transforming urban ‘grey zones’ into green zones improves quality of life
- Capturing and reducing particle pollution improves public health
- Collecting and recycling rainfall improves local atmosphere humidity
- Greening concrete rooftops reduces urban noise levels
How it Works
Creating green rooftop footprints works to combat the ‘heat island’ effect typical of overdeveloped urban environments by generating new supplies of oxygen as well as capturing natural rainfall and returning it to the atmosphere. The result, as more urban rooftops transform into green spaces, is a natural increase in relative humidity and significant improvement of local air quality.
But the benefits created by simple rooftop greening go beyond even the tangible effects of climate improvement. We believe implementing green spaces in individual homes brings a fresh dignity to daily living spaces and is a simple way to improve quality of life, especially in the often grey landscapes of neighborhoods with scarce resources.
What it's Made Of
The key to the sustainability and low-cost of the EV model is the materials that create the container itself. All EV containers are made from 100% recycled plastic waste reclaimed from the ZMVM and are in turn entirely recyclable.
