Solutions must be oriented towards nature.
The JUMBO BLOCK® system offers numerous benefits for the environment and nature conservation. It reduces soil erosion, decreases surface sealing, and creates valuable habitats for plants and animals. Here are some key aspects:
The system efficiently collects and stores rainwater, enhancing water supply for plants and animals while promoting groundwater recharge. This is crucial in arid regions or during droughts.
JUMBO BLOCK® helps mitigate climate change by storing water and enabling targeted irrigation, making plants more resilient to heat and drought. This supports vegetation preservation and contributes to carbon sequestration.
By reducing erosion, increasing soil moisture, and planting resilient vegetation, the system enhances soil quality. This improves plant nutrient supply and promotes healthy soil life, especially along earth walls in agricultural settings.
The system controls surface runoff and encourages rainwater infiltration, reducing flood risks and protecting infrastructure and ecosystems.
JUMBO BLOCK® can be used as street retention under built-up areas, reducing surface sealing. This supports rainwater retention and infiltration in urban areas, reducing flood risks and maintaining natural water cycles.
Our products use natural materials, avoiding plastics, and focus on energy-saving solutions and recyclable moulds.
We emphasize regional production, using CO2-reduced green concretes and sourcing raw materials locally.
Our R&D focuses on improving the energy balance of our building materials.
JUMBO BLOCK® is fully recyclable and easy to reuse, protecting the environment and reducing costs.
The materials are safe for groundwater and do not harm the micro-ecosystem.
The sealing systems for JUMBO BLOCK® offer reliable, waterproof, and long-lasting solutions for module connections. These include high-performance adhesives and sealants, specifically engineered for the demanding conditions of rainwater management. They ensure a secure and durable seal for joints and connections, preventing water loss and optimizing the efficiency of retention systems. With a combination of flexible and highly durable materials, these sealing solutions guarantee long-term functionality, even under varying environmental and load conditions.
Severn Cullis-Suzuki at Rio Summit 1992
Thirty years ago, a young girl named Severn Cullis-Suzuki stood before the world at the Rio Summit and brought the United Nations to silence. She held up a mirror to humanity, calling on us to protect the planet, our only home.
Now, three decades later, we look back and ask ourself what we have truly achieved. The answer is harsh and sobering: not enough, we made it worse.
Her words still echo today, reminding us of our responsibility to the Earth and future generations. Let’s allow nature to heal and protect our planet by working together as a global community build on respect, unity, and sustainability, for a more peaceful and better world.
