SlimWalls

All our plants are carefully selected to offer the maximum in Carbon Capture, this results in a reduction of ambient CO2 levels. Using our unique blend of BIOCHAR soil (available to purchase form our shop page) makes the efforts of the plants complete – by adding BIOCHAR you effectively turn the soil into a carbon sponge which can fix and permanently hold the collected carbon in place for thousands of years. Biochar may be regarded as the future of carbon sequestration, but in fact – it’s an ancient technology believed to be over 7000 years old, used by people in the Amazon basin in the form of Terra Preta soil.

Plants are great for reducing levels of Particulate Matter (PM). These are the tiny airborne particles released mainly by motor vehicles and electric vehicles alike, they can come from the exhaust but also from Tyre and road wear as well as brake pads and discs. Therefore, exposure to PM can result in serious impacts to health, especially in vulnerable groups of people such as the young, elderly, and those with respiratory problems. By selecting the right mix of plants and including plants with hairy leaves or stems, you can very successfully remove high levels of PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 and greatly improve the air quality in your local environment.
