1 VerTexx LivingWalls Sustainable, Strong and Green. Our customized designs, industry expertise and scientifically-tested GrowingMedia are all a part of our commitment to your success. VerTexx LivingWall Advantages Maximum growing space no more root-bound plants in small pots, cells or pockets GrowingMedia from recycled organics is sustainable and locally-sourced Economical, modular trays are made in the USA from recycled materials Save on labor installation and continued maintenance Local support & service available Value-priced compare with other commercial systems Filtrexx Environmental Sustainability Benefits Filtrexx GardenSoxx uses locally recycled organic materials inside of photodegradable mesh. Diverting these organic materials from landfills and applying them to the soil means a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. For every 1,000 linear ft of 5 GardenSoxx used, 25,000 lbs of organic materials are diverted and your carbon footprint is reduced by 48,000 lbs CO 2 e. This is the equivalent of offsetting the greenhouse gas emissions of 4 passenger vehicles driven for one year. In addition, the potential water absorption equals up to 600 gallons, per rainfall event. 1 Source: 1 Filtrexx TechLink #3335. Based on 100% compost; consult project plan for actual compost percentage livingwalls@filtrexx.com
2 GardenSoxx Technology VerTexx LivingWalls use GardenSoxx tubular netting filled with certified, composted GrowingMedia to provide a stable & fertile environment for plant growth. Optimum drainage, aeration, and temperature to grow a healthier root system and more productive plants Additional air flow helps to cool the root zone, improving growth no more waterlogged or root-bound plants Specially blended lightweight GrowingMedia helps to suppress disease, retain moisture and provide a steady supply of nutrients Growing space is maximized with.333 cu ft of GrowingMedia per sq ft; grow five plants per sq ft Can be pre-grown and tagged for quick and accurate placement in wall; easy seasonal replacement if desired VerTexx LivingWall Components Typical VerTexx galvanized steel frame panel dimensions are 4 wide x 8 tall with openings of 4 x 6 ; however, panels can be easily cut to size. VerTexx trays attach securely to mounting hardware. An optional insulating layer enhances thermal properties and sound absorption. An integrated drip irrigation system waters efficiently and evenly to ensure long-term plant health (four options available). Timers and remote mobile apps are available. Specifications & CADs VerTexx can be installed indoors or outdoors, single sided or double sided. Specifications and drawings are available for any size and type of project.

6 Our LivingWalls are designed for environmental benefits. Compost-based LivingWalls can have a significant impact on your project s sustainability. Environmental Benefits Reduction of the urban heat island effect 1 Increased green space, biodiversity, habitat, and forage for native pollinators 1 Treating stormwater runoff with approximately 50% organic matter, a high porosity, and high relative surface area, compost has the ability to absorb significant volumes of water. Each linear ft of 5-in GardenSoxx can absorb up to.6 gallons of water. 2 Carbon footprint reduction 2 - Methane avoidance resulting from diverting organics from landfills - Carbon sequestration by permanent vegetation - Carbon sequestration by storing carbon in the soil Wellbeing (Biophilia) Benefits Improved exterior & interior air quality 1 Provides added humidity to indoor air via plant transpiration of irrigation water Noise reduction/sound absorption Living Walls have been shown to absorb sound by up to 40%, and reduce noise by up to 15 decibels. 3 Improved health and well-being in the workplace workers in office environments with natural elements, such as greenery and sunlight, report the following benefits: - a 15% higher level of well-being - are 6% more productive - are 15% more creative 4 VerTexx Uses Residential homes Condos & apartments Restaurants, cafés, breweries Offices Storefronts & retail Hotels Casinos Museums Schools & daycares University campuses Concert venues Hospitals & clinics Assisted living facilities Churches Auto dealerships Airports Edible/culinary gardens Property boundaries & privacy Balconies & patios Product & trade show displays LEED & Sustainable Site projects Urban agriculture Manufacturing plants Parking structures Gyms & fitness centers Temporary or mobile displays Sources: 1 Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, About Green Walls. 2 Filtrexx TechLink Research Summary #3335.
