Filterpave®

WZ Eco-Friendly ProductThe FilterPave® system sets the green standard for hard-surfaced porous pavements, with features, performance and environmental benefits that surpass standards for pavements of its kind.  Made from 100% post-consumer recycled glass, FilterPave pavements are eco-friendly and attractive and allow you to reflect your design vision.

  • Highly-Aesthetic Surface: With architectural aesthetics, the FilterPave surface is a colorful mosaic of recycled variant-colored glass bonded with a high-strength natural binder made by BASF. Color varies by region and optional color enhancements are available.
  • High Porosity: The structurally-sound system is twice as porous as other hard-surfaced porous pavements, resulting in a greater reduction of stormwater runoff.
  • High Percent Use of Recycled Materials: The pavement utilizes a high percentage (~90%) of 100% post-consumer recycled glass in the mix, allowing the constructive use of abundant materials that are traditionally landfilled. The specially-processed and bonded glass is as safe as any traditional surface on which to walk or drive.
  • Low Environmental Impact: The highly permeable surface is a natural low-impact development BMP for reducing stormwater runoff, managing stormwater on-site and reducing the requirements and costs for stormwater collection systems.
  • Eco-Friendly: The adhesive is comprised of 2/3 natural plant-based resin, safe for marine and plantlife.

Applications

With a hardened surface comparable with open-graded base course (OGBC), the system can be designed to handle light-to-heavy pedestrian or vehicular traffic loads with permeable base when required.

  • Parking Areas
  • Golf Cart Pathways
  • Trails/Walkways
  • Sidewalks and Driveways
  • Pedestrian Patios
  • Boat Ramp Landings
