The Noise Barrier is a step towards a more sustainable future. Together with experts from SP Group, Gibo Plast has developed the innovative noise barrier made of waste plastics to accelerate the recycling of plastics from private households.
Every year, Danish households and companies produces 350.000 ton of waste plastics, and each kilo new plastic means 2,35 kg emission. In contrast, recycled plastics whose emission is only 0,16 kg. As an innovative plastics supplier, Gibo Plast constantly insists on exploring new ways to recycle used materials to reduce our impact on the climate. The will to create a better future has been a key driver in developing the Noise Barrier in collaboration with experts from SP Group.
Being produced from recycled household waste plastics, the product challenges the way noise barriers traditionally have been made until now. It is even possible to recycle the Noise Barrier again, meaning that public institutions, local authorities, and housing associations now have a better and greener opportunity that is extremely efficient in reducing noise from highways and railroads.
Noise Barrier is a maintenance-free product with a long product life cycle for more than 30 years. Besides being highly UV-resistant, the product is resistant to corrosion and a great number of chemicals. Salt or cold doesn’t affect the material just like the product doesn’t absorb any water. Another great attribute to the visionary product is the easiness in the installation and cleaning
