Ecostrada - Capturing roadside pollution

Nature-based
environmental screens
for transport corridors,
construction sites and urban spaces.

Ecostrada is an innovative environmental screen that combines noise reduction, capture of particulate pollution, airborne dust and microplastics, stormwater management and aesthetic design in one integrated solution

Product

One screen surface. Multiple environmental effects.

Ecostrada delivers multifunctional screening for roads, rail and construction sites, where environmental effects such as reduced traffic noise, airborne dust and microplastics, water and salt spray, improved biodiversity habitat and visual quality need to be considered together. The result is one integrated solution for traffic-adjacent areas.

<15DBA

Noise is reduced at the surface.

The screen absorbs sound instead of reflecting it hard back.

40–60%

Particles and microplastics are captured.

Airborne dust and microplastics from traffic and tire wear are bound in the active biomass.

~99%

Water spray is slowed.

The porous mass absorbs spray and reduces runoff and stormwater that can contribute to aquaplaning.

Environmental function

Ecostrada is profitable sustainability.

The screen is a biofilter that captures noise, dust and microplastics from traffic, can be cost-effective to retrofit on existing noise barriers where the problem already exists, and provides concrete environmental effects and greener visual quality in traffic-adjacent areas.

Captures particulate pollution

Airborne dust and microplastics from traffic are bound in the active biomass.

Takes microplastics seriously

Tire wear is a major international source of microplastics and should be handled close to the road.

Adds visual quality

Colorful moss, planting and natural materials add decoration, texture and variation.

Can be retrofitted

Can add new function to existing noise barriers, facades and fences.

Green stormwater barrier by a waterway that can slow water spray, dust and microplastics

Stormwater barrier

H2O barriers when stormwater needs to be guided and contaminated water must be prevented from spreading.

Creates habitat

Biomass can provide small living surfaces for insects and birdlife in hard traffic environments.

Deliveries

Choose delivery by situation.

The same active screen surface can be delivered as a permanent structure, movable module or upgrade of existing installations where noise, dust, microplastics and visual quality need to be handled together. Cost- and area-efficient stormwater barriers are also available.

Ramstadsletta shows how a green screen can perform in a demanding road environment, while the Cisco delivery shows that the solution can be carried into ordinary projects.

Material

Forest industry residuals are recycled into an active, effective biofilter

Together, we turn residual material into an economically and environmentally sustainable raw material that we borrow from nature's cycle.

Spruce branches

Residual material from Norwegian forestry provides volume, roughness and structure that can be replaced when needed.

Resin and lignin

Natural substances in the biomass help bind dust and microplastics in the filter surface.

Moss

Moss contributes to a lush evergreen screen, and its large surface area captures airborne dust efficiently.

Biofilter

The screen surface is filled with replaceable biomass that can be returned to the cycle after use.

Moss and forest biomass are harvested, filled into replaceable modules and become an active filter surface along the road.

About the solution

Profitable sustainability for projects that need documented effect.

Ecostrada's environmental screens consist of raw materials that would otherwise, to a large extent, be left to decay. Unlike other noise barrier solutions, they bypass processes that require large amounts of costly logistics, energy and production facilities.

Those processes create large environmental footprints. Our users benefit through moderate procurement costs and improved environmental scoring in BREEAM Infrastructure, environmental weighting in tenders, green financing and similar frameworks.
