400,000th Durakerb Unit Installation

ongoing

Supporting the UK government’s drive towards a net-zero carbon emissions economy, Durakerb (part of the Econpro group) has announced the installation of its 400,000th kerb in the UK, saving the country 12 million kilogrammes of CO² in the last decade. Made from 88% recycled polymer, Durakerb units – kerbs, kerbside and surface drainage – are comprised of the equivalent of 182 plastic bottles. Over the last 11 years, the company has saved thousands of tonnes of plastic waste going to landfill, equivalent to 72 million plastic bottles. The company’s products deliver a 73% reduction in carbon emissions per full load when compared to the concrete. Durakerb has also saved approximately 12,000,000 kgs of emitted carbon, through the production of Durakerb compared to the precast concrete counterpart and removal of 1,000 articulated vehicles in transport due to the lightweight product. Its range of products are greener, safer, simpler alternative to traditional concrete kerbs. The interlocking design of Durakerb units allows for 100% alignment wherever they are installed. The units can be cut with hand tools and no additional training is required, saving the equivalent of 9,000 manual labour days.
