The document introduces the EnviroBloxx polymer living modular wall system from Filtrexx International. The EnviroBloxx are lightweight, hollow plastic blocks that nest together efficiently for transport. They are made of 100% recycled plastic and can be backfilled to create a post-consumer living wall. The blocks are easy to handle and install, allowing construction of walls up to 5 feet tall with minimal equipment. When installed, the walls have a plantable surface and unblocked movement for plant roots and nutrients. The system provides structure, green space, and environmental benefits while being more sustainable than traditional retaining walls through its recycled materials and reduced transportation impacts.

Introducing the EnviroBloxx
“Polymer”
Living Modular Wall System
From the LivingWall Division
Of
Filtrexx International
2. Retaining walls are evolving and the next
generation is - Living!
Our EarthBloxx Concrete Modular System
has had great success in commercial walls but handling and
placement is not easy due to the weight of concrete. A light
weight version is needed in the landscape and DIY markets.
4. Habitat Creation Instead of Habitat
Removal
Returning habitat to the built environment
helps pollinators, insects, birds and humans.
5. Hardscape vs. Landscape
Ecosystem Function & Beauty
Hold back the earth and that’s it. Structure, green-space, habitat,
cooling, storm-water management,
environmental service!
6. Polymer Living Wall System: Landscape and Residential
•The radically unique EnviroBloxx are light weight due to being cast hollow from
injection molded plastic, while maintaining structure.
•They are able to nest for transport efficiency and cost savings.
•The system and all of its parts are made of 100% recycled plastic and when
backfilled with compost, create a 100% post consumer content wall and can easily
be drip irrigated.
•Once installed they will look just like traditional concrete plantable modules but
at 1sf coverage and only 2.5 lbs unfilled, they handle and place with ease and
enable the construction of walls up to 5’ tall with little to no equipment or special
tools.
•Finished walls will be almost entirely plantable fill material allowing moisture /
roots / nutrients to have unblocked movement. This allows plant roots to stitch
together the completed structure better than any previous block system.
• EnviroBloxx rely on technology from Filtrexx GardenSoxx for plant growth and
light modular media placement or with “Side Rail” accessory can accept loose
media and/or smaller soxx.
•When additional reinforcement is required, they have built in receptors for the
same mechanical strap connection as the commercial EarthBloxx Systems.
•The Strap hole also doubles as a handle during construction.
8. Rigid and Stackable for High Density Storage and Handling
Standard concrete
block take valuable
space
One Standard Pallet Holds 450 EnviroBloxx @ 1 sf coverage each!
9. EnviroBloxx can be installed in a
straight line and with slight curves by
using the block alone with (1) 2’ x 8”
soxx. If the side rail accessory is added,
then tight radii can be accomplished,
or it can be backfilled with loose
media without soxx. Lots of versatility!
