THE BENEFITS OF A LIVING WALL


Living walls using the Minigarden systems bring forth numerous economic, ecological, and social advantages. They play a significant role in air purification, reducing ambient temperatures, regulating heat, and promoting urban biodiversity.

Green facades are an integral component of climate-resilient and nature-inclusive construction. Furthermore, they have a positive impact on the community, enhancing workplace environments and shopping experiences. Additionally, they mitigate noise pollution and decrease the surrounding temperatures. A Minigarden living wall contributes also to an improved BREEAM or LEED rating for both new and existing buildings, urban public spaces, and residences, always in conjunction with various other sustainable measures.
IMPROVES AESTHETICS AND QUALIFIES URBAN GRAY AREAS

A well designed and maintained vertical garden can significantly enhance a building’s appearance – whether it’s to add a new aesthetic dimension, disguise a car park, refresh a facade or add colour and texture to a wall or section.

IMPROVE AIR QUALITY AND REDUCE CARBON DIOXIDE

A vertical garden in an urban area helps improve local air quality, both by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, and by trapping dust and absorbing pollutants.

REDUCE NOISE AND EFFECTS OF ECHO

The Minigarden vertical garden system works as an insulation layer (both thermal and acoustic), offering an extraordinary effect of sound absorption and capture.

REGULATE TEMPERATURE

A vertical garden used on appropriate elevations can reduce energy costs by both providing an additional layer of insulation in the winter (keeping heat in) and acting as a screen to the sun in the summer (keeping the building cool).

INCREASING BIODIVERSITY

With a strong base from the trellis and appropriate planting, a vertical garden
can provide an ideal habitat for birds and beneficial insects. In many cases, it can also provide an alternative habitat for any wildlife displaced during construction, with the option of integrating bird houses within the structure.

PROTECT BUILDING FACADES

The Minigarden system protects a building’s facade from the elements, acting as an effective shield to heavy rain and hail and helping to protect from the damaging effects of UV light.

FOOD SAFETY

The Minigarden® Vertical material is suitable for direct contact with food. It is widely used in the food industry and it complies with the European regulations (EU Nº 10/2011) on plastic materials intended to come into contact with food.

POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT

Outdoor or indoor vertical gardens applications give us a close contact with plants, through visual contact or smell, creating a very pleasant psychological effect.

URBAN FARMING

The Minigarden Vertical system is also being used for growing food in urban settings, creating sustainable and local control of food sources

WATER & ENERGY SAVINGS

Saves a lot of water with the use of the Minigarden drip watering/irrigation system and re-use of drained water.

FULLY RECYCLABLE

Vertical systems made of recycled materials to promote greater sustainability and environmental awareness. The use of quality recycled materials creates an almost infinite cycle, allowing for the preservation of natural resources and helping make our cities greener.

GREEN WALLS ARE APPLYABLE TO ESG SCORES

ESG scores can aid with overall corporate governance and company management, and are important to companies for the following reasons: validation, peer comparison, benchmarking, managing progress, investor attraction and risk management.

THE BENEFITS OF ESG SCORES FOR COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS


An ESG score is a way to assign a quantitative metric, such as a numerical score or letter rating, to the environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts undertaken by a specific organization.

ESG efforts have become increasingly important in recent years as awareness around the topic has grown. There are numerous ESG benefits for businesses that get it right, including providing competitive advantage, attracting investors, improving financial performance, building customer loyalty and helping to make a company's operations sustainable. An ESG score, also sometimes referred to as an ESG rating, is a way to measure how organizations are executing their ESG goals as they seek to recognize the benefits it can provide.
