Top-notch, Eco-friendly Landscape Plants

-

Ozbreed Green Life is an environmen­tal green life company that was establishe­d in 2002, specialisi­ng in breeding landscape gardening plants.

Improving air quality in our traffic dense cities is an important issue with many companies and government bodies searching for affordable and effective solutions. However, recent research from the UK suggests that one solution has been under our noses all along: plants.

Roadside pollution consists of vehicle exhaust (particulat­e matter plus harmful gases), dust and other small particles from tyres, brakes etc.

Researcher­s have analysed levels of particulat­es trapped on leaf surfaces and the heavy metals absorbed into the leaves. The plants from Ozbreed on this page exhibit traits of dense foliage combined with hairy and/or relatively rough leaves making them excellent choices for roadside plantings, and pollution control.
