Vaso by Eco’s products create buildings from panels manufactured from recycled glass, providing affordable, low energy cost, low carbon homes.
Designed and developed at Eco Group’s HQ in Dumfries and Galloway, the products were proposed for a new affordable housing project at Closeburn north of Dumfries.
The homes will be designed, manufactured and constructed off-site by Annan-based Vaso By Eco, flat packed and then re-assembled on site.
The Vaso by Eco build solution would represent a 20-week timesaving compared with traditional construction.
Eddie Black, Eco Group’s founder and MD, said: “Closeburn is a brilliant example of how Vaso by Eco can create thermally efficient, affordable housing delivered at pace with minimum impact on the community while creating massive value for the community and allowing it to grow.
“This circular innovation creates a newbuild system and building modules with scalable manufacturing, providing large amounts of housing quickly and sustainably where it is most required.
“It’s also a solution which will create green economy jobs – helping young people gain new skills, apprenticeships and reskilling others to create new career opportunities.”
