nature line GREEN ROOF with GREEN ROOFING IN THE 21ST CENTURY A System Build-up made from Renewable Raw Raterials

Why renewable raw materials? In a time of increasing scarcity of fossil raw materials and of global warming, ZinCo has taken on the resulting challenge and is looking for suitable solutions for conserving natural resources. The use of renewable raw materials is an obvious solution and one that promises huge potential. Renewable raw materials are biomass sources from agricultural, forest or marine production. They are typically one or two-year old plants such as grain, maize, sugar cane, oleaginous crops, wood and in the future possibly even algae. Mankind is exploiting the advance work of...

For example, in 2011 less than 1% of the overall global plastics production was biobased. However, the annual growth in production is at least 20% (without subsidies).
