Urban Smart Fiber Soil
A brilliant green solution from the inside out.
Fiber Soil is a planting base made from the inseparable materials in recycling clothing, a mixture of cotton and polyester. Thanks to its soft texture and modular skeleton, it can be easily assembled to create large-scale green walls and floors, whether flat or curved. It also incorporates technology for automatically regulating water retention. This is a brilliant green solution that combines the ecological precepts of recycling and reuse to create something new and truly beautiful. It is not just an innovative system of recycled textiles, it is also a highly future-driven design. The soil, produced by Taiwan's Textile Research Institute, contributes to a growing trend: the greening and planting of urban roofs, terraces and walls.
