The Eco-Tile technology transforms artificial shorelines into biodiverse ecosystems by encouraging marine life growth on seawalls. It features eco-friendly concrete with 20-40% recycled material, significantly reducing the carbon footprint. The design harbors twice as many species as traditional seawalls, promoting sustainable fisheries and improving water quality. Its application is global, fitting various seawall types and environments, making future constructions more environmentally beneficial. This innovation offers a tangible solution to the environmental damage caused by artificial shorelines.
