Where do they suit?
ADAPTABLE TO MANY LOCATIONS
GardenShips are purposefully designed to be integrated into new developments or retro-fitted into existing inhabited and functioning sites.
The GardenShips are intelligently designed to be completely stand-alone and also off-grid if required, making them non-intrusive and self-sustaining.
As well as providing a luscious green space, GardenShips are a community engagement and education asset, and are best placed at the epicentre of a community-centric development.
Urban, suburban or regional land
Residential or mixed use high-rise development
Residential estates
Schools and Universities
Penitentiary and detention centres
Islands and remote areas
Indigenous communities
Community housing
Mining sites and remote worksites
Displacement camps
Urban farms
Why WastePlant?
Our planet needs more sustainable and intelligent solutions for food waste management, soil regeneration, soil and food education, and ultimately, for a more self-sufficient and decentralised food system for our towns and cities.
WastePlant was founded to proactively serve all of these efforts, with a mission to rapidly rebuild fertile soil, create jobs and up-skill, and provide effective soil education.
WastePlant is for the future of our food systems.
