Sustology - Improve water quality using recycled plastics Contact Solution Provider

Solution Overview & Benefits

BioHaven® Floating Islands are a concentrated form of one of nature’s water purification systems. Made from a proprietary matrix of 100% recycled plastic, injected with inert polyurethane foam for buoyancy, they are designed to support vegetation above the waterline and beneficial microbial habitat below.

Both types of BioHaven® – Floating Treatment Wetlands and Living Walkways, larger custom-designed islands designed to support walkways, docks, picnic tables and other structures – provide a number of benefits. Among other things they: 1. are beautiful - each one a unique natural garden; 2. add critical riparian habitat for fish and birds; 3. are virtually self-sustaining and maintenance free; 4. remove and reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, organic waste plus heavy metals and pharmaceuticals; 5. reduce erosion damage to surrounding natural shoreline.

BioHaven® Islands mimic nature with a floating wetland that hydroponically draws nutrient out of the water through the proliferation of microbial bio-film and plants.
