Permeable surfaces do more than provide functional and aesthetic benefits—they actively contribute to a healthier environment. At Poly Up, our water-permeable resin-bound surfaces are designed with nature in mind. Here’s how they support local ecosystems and wildlife.

1. Reducing Urban Runoff

Traditional paving surfaces cause rainwater to run into drains, carrying pollutants into waterways. Permeable surfaces allow water to filter through, reducing runoff and helping to recharge groundwater supplies.

2. Supporting Plant Growth

By letting water seep into the soil, permeable surfaces provide hydration for nearby plants and trees. This promotes healthier growth and reduces the need for artificial irrigation.

3. Creating Wildlife Habitats

Encouraging healthy vegetation supports local ecosystems. Birds, insects, and small mammals benefit from robust plant life’s food and shelter.

4. Flood Prevention

Permeable surfaces reduce the risk of flooding by slowing down the rate of rainwater entering the drainage system. This is particularly beneficial in urban areas prone to heavy rainfall.

5. Reducing Urban Heat Islands

Light-coloured resin surfaces reflect sunlight, helping to reduce the heat absorbed by urban areas. This creates a cooler, more comfortable environment for people and wildlife alike.

Permeable surfaces benefit functionality and the environment. At Poly Up, we’re proud to offer solutions that benefit local ecosystems while meeting our clients’ practical needs. Contact us to learn more about our eco-friendly resin-bound surfaces.
