Sustainability and success go hand-in-hand
We believe that in order to create a more resilient future, the world needs confident designers and builders who understand how to achieve sustainability. We also believe this goal can be achieved without sacrificing the bottom line or project timelines. That's why we treat every conversation as an opportunity to understand how sustainability can go hand-in-hand with profits and success. Our passion for educating combined with our innovative geogrid solutions allow you to design and build with confidence. When that happens, we all win.
How geogrids contribute to sustainability
It seems counterintuitive that putting plastics in the ground could be a sustainable solution. While some plastics pollute our environment, geogrid is actually part of the solution rather than the problem. When used in a construction project, geogrids can:
- Extend road service life
- Reduce consumption of aggregate
- Conserve water resources
- Minimize land disturbance
- Control soil erosion
- Protect groundwater
- Reduce on-site excavation and fill placement
- Reduce transportation requirements and associated emissions
- Reduce maintenance requirements
Now more than ever, governments and companies are accepting accountability for the active role they play in encouraging sustainable business practices. Thanks to the benefits mentioned above, our solutions can help your project meet or exceed stringent environmental requirements.
Environmental Product Declarations
As part of Tensar's commitment to sustainability, we offer environmental product declarations (EPDs) for several of our solutions. EPDs provide verifiable, accurate environmental information for these products and their applications, quantifying the environmental sustainability of these products.
Sustainable Minds
Tensar recently joined Sustainable Minds, a sustainability transparency catalog that enables engineers, architects, and contractors to identify products that help meet project sustainability needs. Tensar's geogrid solutions are now available in the catalog.
Tensar's Commitment to Resiliency
Today, the need for resiliency in our nation's infrastructure is more urgent than ever. Tensar is doubling down on its commitment to resiliency, investing in research, industry collaboration, and new product development that supports more resilient infrastructure.
