Presto FilterPave™

The FilterPave™ porous system offers unique advances over traditional hard-surface pavements, addressing today’s environmental issues and stormwater management requirements in an attractive and cost-effective way. The FilterPave™ pavement is a hardened surface with porosity comparable to open-graded base course (OGBC). The complete FilterPave™ system uses a high percentage of recycled materials. The mat structure is manufactured from up to 97% recycled plastic, while the infill utilizes abundant 100% post-consumer recycled glass bonded with a safe polymer binder.

 

The FilterPave™ system is a colorful mosaic of structurally sound, highly permeable glass aggregate that provides an architecturally appealing, hard-surfaced, porous pavement system that is as safe as any traditional surface on which to walk or drive. The FilterPave™ system makes productive use of plentiful post-consumer recycled glass, and its structure contains a high percentage of recycled plastic. The recycled glass is solidified within the FilterPave™ structure with a high-strength, flexible bonding agent, made primarily from natural materials safe for marine and plant life.

 

The FilterPave™ system is a natural LID-BMP for managing stormwater. This strong, attractive, porous pavement system also has the ability to adsorb hydrocarbons that leak from automobiles (e.g. engine oil, transmission fluid). Biological processes can then be introduced to reduce these hydrocarbons to harmless by-products, further reducing pollution. The glass particles are collected from recycling facilities and processed to round the edges. Utilizing the abundant supply of recycled glass in a constructive way eliminates landfilling of the materials and thus conserves natural aggregate supplies and reduces mining efforts.
