Make more money with Geoplast’s sustainable construction

• Sustainable construction delivers higher performance by using less resources.

• Sustainable construction is more profitable because it is more efficient and more cost effective.

• Geoplast products facilitate sustainable and more profitable construction by optimizing slabs, formwork, foundations, water, and green solutions.

Making construction sustainable is not about adding vegetation
 
Sustainable construction is best defined as a building approach that:
• Uses recycled resources,

• Reduces use of carbon intensive materials,

• Minimizes construction waste,

• Reduces risks and damage,

• Increases energy efficiency,

• Optimizes resources through multifunctional use,

• Extends product reuse.

Most importantly, sustainable construction affects all phases of the building lifecycle, including construction and in-use phases. Especially during the in-use phase, that can last for many decades, sustainability delivers substantial benefits.
 
 
Sustainable construction makes much more money for investors and owners
 
Sustainability in construction is often reduced to visible elements such as greenery, green roofs, or facade solutions, which can turn into greenwashing if the structural reality beneath is ignored.

There is a wrong belief that sustainable construction is not profitable. It is created by outdated “vegetation as decoration” solutions that mask non-sustainable construction projects.
 
Sustainable construction is not just better for the environment – it’s a better way to do business:
• Using recycled resources – lowers material costs and reduces disposal fees,

• Reducing use of carbon intensive materials – enhances reputation, and attracts eco-conscious clients,

• Minimizing construction waste – minimizes material loss and cuts storage and disposal costs,

• Reducing risks and damage – enables fewer construction errors and accidents, lowering insurance and repair costs,

• Increasing energy efficiency – reduces operational energy bills and lifecycle expenses,

• Optimizing resources – maximizes material utility and reduces the need for extra products,

• Extending product reuse – extends product life and cuts replacement costs.

Sustainable construction is also more profitable throughout all building’s lifecycle phases: construction is faster and more efficient, while the in-use phase benefits from lower energy needs and improved resilience.
 
 
Geoplast products enable sustainable construction and high profits
 
Geoplast products support profitable sustainable construction by directly reducing costs and increasing efficiency by:
• Using recycled resources – Geoplast products are made of recycled plastic. Recycled plastic products require less energy to produce, allow more efficient designs, are lighter, and can be used more times. All these benefits combined offer financial savings in manufacturing, transport, construction, use, and further recycling.

• Reducing use of carbon intensive materials – Modulo and New Nautilus Evo, among others Geoplast’s products, reduce the need for carbon intensive materials like concrete, lower structural mass, help avoid penalties, and make projects more attractive to high-value clients. Reducing the use of concrete, a material with high CO₂ emissions during production, lowers both environmental impact and construction costs.

• Minimizing construction waste – modular slab, foundation, formwork and water products including Geosky, Multimodulo and Geocell optimize material use, minimize over-excavation and excess use of concrete, reduce construction waste and its transport, and ultimately lowers total project costs.

• Reducing risks and damage – products like New Nautilus and Elevetor Max assure improvements in load distribution and seismic performance. Water products like Drening and Aquabox improve project resilience. As a result, they reduce the number of construction errors and long-term structural issues, lowering maintenance needs and improving durability over time – thus making in-use phase far more profitable.

• Increasing energy efficiency – Green products like Drainroof, Completa or Wall-y enhance thermal insulation and substantially reduce HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air conditioning) costs. HVAC costs are one of the main costs during the in-use phase and our green products can drastically reduce them throughout the year.

• Optimization of resources – products like Aquabox and Drening allow storage, management and reuse of rainwater for irrigation and fire-fighting reserves, reducing need for extra products and related costs.

• Extended product reuse – products such as Geopanel can be reused more than 100 times, substantially reducing material consumption and associated replacement costs.

The biggest benefits for sustainability and profit increase come from combining multiple Geoplast products across all building phases, therefore generating continuous compounding benefits.
