Recycled plastic spacers for segment stacking

For the storage of prefabricated concrete segments

GREEN SPACERS

From waste to reuse

The aim of Green Spacers is to replace wooden spacers, used to stack segments in storage yards (Precast warehouse, TBM site), with recycled-plastic spacers.

MISSION: Green Impact's mission is to develop recycled plastic products that enable circular economy models.

VISION: To contribute to the reduction of environmental impact in the infrastructure prefabrication sector.

Why are Green Spacers

Eco-friendly?

Recycled Plastic: use of post-consumer plastic, eliminating the need to produce new plastic
Second Life of Plastic: Green spacers are produced using plastic that would otherwise be sent to landfill;
Avoid deforestation: Green Spacers replace the timber spacers previously used

Do Green Spacers have better performance?

Better load transmission: precise positioning thanks to the cone guides allow better transmission of forces and increase the stability of the stack;
Resistance to outdoor conditions: plastic is less affected by outdoor weathering than wood

Why are Green Spacers Safer?

Resistant to attack by mold and fungi: avoid the risks of an unhealthy environment for workers
Reduced injury risk for workers: with its low weight, it significantly reduces exposure of workers to the risk of injury
Compliance with Robotic Handling: full management by robot avoids the necessity of workers' presence in storage yards
