The project LIFE CAPT-TILE, financed by the European Union, aims at developing innovative and easily accessible solutions for a green and sustainable architecture. This project focuses on the integration of novel clay tiles with urban greening systems able to host a layer of “synthetic mineral soil” which allows plants to grow on green surfaces, like roofs and façades, thus contributing to capture CO2 and remove pollutants from the atmosphere. This solution, designed to be light, modular and simple to set up, seeks to significantly reduce the costs of installation and maintenance, making both green roofs and walls affordable even for residential buildings and low-income housing. The project involves a consortium of public and private partners, which includes: the project’s coordinator Industrie Cotto Possagno SPA (Italy), Officine Smac SPA (Italy), Università Politecnica delle Marche (Italy), Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Italy), Bergamo Tecnologie SPZOO (Poland) e Azienda Territoriale Edilizia Residenziale della Provincia di Padova ATER (Italy).
