  • CHALLENGE
  • SOLUTION
  • IMPACT
  • MORE
  • Our challenge lies in developing a robust solution for tree root protection that balances strength, environmental sustainability, and lightweight design. Additionally, we strive to pioneer an innovative approach to stormwater management, one that redefines conventional thinking and sets new benchmarks for efficiency and sustainability.

  • RC1000 was created to resolve the issue of climate change mainly focused on stormwater management. However, due to current issues such as strong wind and rainfall. This product was therefore created to be structurally strong and be used for multiple uses. Such as the tree root protection, permanent formworks for double slab construction method, temporary stage platform and a new export pallet that can fit different sizes such as 2ft / 4ft / 6ft / 8ft by connecting multiple panels together to fit customers requirements.

  • RC1000 is designed to set new standards in sustainability, inspiring the development of greener products and technologies. Built for durability, it offers high compressive strength, versatility, and cost-competitiveness, making it ideal for multiple applications. Made from 100% recycled polypropylene and fully recyclable, it supports a circular economy and long-term environmental sustainability. Beyond its performance, RC1000 promotes community awareness and participation in green initiatives, encouraging sustainable living without compromising quality of life.
