Product description
PLAEX LinX is a revolutionary modular building system designed for landscaping and hardscaping applications. It is made from over 90% recycled thermoplastics and construction waste, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional materials. The system is fully interlocking and mortar-less, providing both aesthetic flexibility and structural resilience.
The key innovation of LinX lies in its three-point locking system, which simplifies installation and eliminates the need for cutting, mortar, screws, or nails. Independently tested, LinX demonstrates compressive strength comparable to conventional concrete (20–30 MPa) while being up to 400–1 250 % more resistant to chips and breakage. Additionally, it has just 0.37% water absorption, ensuring long-lasting durability.
From an environmental perspective, LinX significantly reduces CO₂ emissions by approximately 138% compared to traditional materials. It also offers 5–30% cost savings on total project budgets, with a remarkable ROI ranging from 200–400%. This makes it an attractive choice for individuals, contractors, public authorities, NGOs, and businesses looking for sustainable and cost-effective landscaping solutions.
Furthermore, LinX is designed with modularity in mind, allowing for easy disassembly, reuse, and recycling at the end of its life cycle. This supports circular economy principles and contributes to the reduction of construction waste, making it a truly eco-friendly solution.
