The company manufactures sustainable road kerbs and drainage solutions using recycled polymers, providing the construction industry with a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete products. Product innovations include their lightweight, award-winning kerb,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.durakerb.co.uk\/products\/durakerb\/\">Durakerb<\/a>; their heavy-duty combined kerb and drainage system,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.durakerb.co.uk\/products\/duradrain\/\">Duradrain<\/a>; and their heavy-duty linear surface drainage system,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.durakerb.co.uk\/products\/durachannel\/\">Durachannel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to being created out of high recycled plastic content and having low carbon outputs, these Dura Products require little energy use during transportation and installation, thanks to their lightweight composition. They also have unlimited end-of-life potential; as each unit can be reused, recycled and carbon recovered. These lightweight recycled kerbs and systems therefore provide a safer, greener, faster and easier solution to kerbing, and kerbside\/surface drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Econpro\u2019s ambition to help the global construction industry lower its environmental footprint has seen the company expand into territories across Europe; with Duradrain now installed in 12 countries across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closer to home Dura Products\u2019 sustainable credentials have caught the eye of a wide range of organisations, from institutions such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.durakerb.co.uk\/case-studies\/merseyside-police-hq\/\">Merseyside Police HQ<\/a>, to internationally recognised brands, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.durakerb.co.uk\/case-studies\/costa-coffee-drive-through-rotherham\/\">Costa Coffee<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/video\/first-net-zero-mcdonalds-branch-2566055\/\">McDonald\u2019s<\/a>, the latter of which installed Durakerb as part of the UK\u2019s first net-zero carbon restaurant \u2013 a historic step for green construction in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other notable installations include the biggest single infrastructural investment ever undertaken in County Mayo, Ireland. The 20.3km dual carriageway formed part of Wills Bam JV\u2019s \u20ac241 million N5 upgrade project. Meanwhile, in Landgraaf, Netherlands, Dura Products solutions were used to install a safe cycle lane running adjacent to a key stretch of road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years Forresters have worked with Econpro to secure IP protection for a range of their green innovations, including important patents relating to their Durakerb and Duradrain product lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Phil Sutton, Founder of Econpro, said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our products are the example of what modern construction can be and should be \u2013 environmentally responsible. By contributing some 40% of UK\u2019s carbon emissions, the built environment has a long way to go, but we hope our green solutions demonstrate a low carbon industry is possible. We are grateful to Forresters for over 20 years of support and expertise on patent protection for our products, and are looking forward to many more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we enter the second week of the COP27 climate change conference we continue to celebrate our cleantech clients developing important environmentally friendly innovations.
