Rooftop & Vertical Farming

We have developed a technology using recycled plastic panels and beams to construct structures for vertical farming. This method allows planting 180 plants ina single square meter compared to just 20 plants on a square meter of horizontal surface.

The Vertical Farming using 100% recycled plastics idea was developed in 2017 and researched and implemented at AUB. A short  video entitled Beirut Planting Roofs outlining the project is shown below.
