Reduced flood risks

Water products like Aquabox create underground rainwater tanks that allow airports to manage runoff from large impermeable surfaces. They reduce flooding risks, enable rainwater reuse for technical systems like cleaning and cooling, and provide irrigation for green areas.
Build more sustainable airports with Geoplast
11 September 2025
Geoplast products have proven their sustainability value in major airports worldwide, including Milan Bergamo, Malpensa, Roland Garros, and Gardermoen improving stormwater management, green infrastructure, and reducing CO2 emissions.
Airports are among the most complex construction projects from a sustainability perspective, given their extensive paved surfaces, CO2 emissions, and high material and energy use. Geoplast products have been applied in airport projects such as Milan Bergamo, Malpensa, Roland Garros, and Gardermoen enhancing both environmental performance and operational efficiency. Here is how we did it:
Mitigated urban heat island

Our green parking, wall, and roofing products – structurally compatible with heavy-duty airport requirements – improve thermal performance around terminals. Drainroof lowers cooling demands and introduces vegetated surfaces, helping mitigate the urban heat island effect.
Lowered CO2 emissions
Roland Garros Airport, Reunion, France
Lightened slab products like New Nautilus Evo reduce concrete use and carbon emissions. They lower the carbon footprint of airport terminals while supporting flexible architectural designs and maintaining structural strength.

Minimized waste
Gardermoen Airport, Oslo, Norway
Reusable recycled plastic formwork such as Geotub accelerates on-site installation, keeps projects on schedule, and reduces labor costs. Its reusability also minimizes material waste compared to traditional formwork, supporting circular construction practices.
