Circular solutions for green roofs: recycled substrates and the use of wastewater

This presentation will introduce an experimentally verified circular solution for a green roof combining a rooftop constructed wetland wastewater treatment system with a semi-intensive green roof. The system, tested at UCEEB CTU, uses pre-treated wastewater to irrigate the vegetation and for its further treatment. At the same time, the results of the development and testing of the reCihli® substrate, based on recycled materials and intended for use in the green roof build-ups, will be presented.
