Alldrain delivers drainage that restores the soil
Recent reports and images showing how so-called drought stress is causing many trees to shed their leaves in the height of summer make it abundantly clear that proper water management will become increasingly vital in the years ahead. Alldrain takes responsibility by providing drainage systems that strike a balance between water discharge and water retention, preventing soil from drying out and safeguarding long-term soil fertility.
Our drainage systems continue to maintain soils capable of storing carbon and water. But there’s more: by committing fully to switching from PVC drainage pipes to biodegradable materials, we’re making a substantial contribution to the fight against environmental pollution—which, alongside climate disruption and biodiversity loss, threatens the health of both our planet and the people who call it home.
Corporate social responsibility
PVC is made from petroleum, which means its production is inherently polluting and harmful to the environment. What’s more, as non-biodegradable PVC pipes wear down over the decades they remain in the ground, they release highly damaging microplastics into the soil. This has a major impact on biodiversity, particularly when water is simply drained away—causing species that depend on moist soils to disappear and giving rise to monocultures that severely impoverish both the soil and the surrounding environment.
Healthy soil is essential for growing healthy food. It’s becoming increasingly clear that many physical and mental health issues stem from our widespread consumption of ultra-processed foods. In other words: maintaining healthy soil is a matter of vital importance, and the water management Alldrain offers—with its healthy balance between water discharge and water supply—makes a significant contribution to this goal.
By choosing pipes made from biodegradable materials rather than PVC, Alldrain plays a crucial role in preventing biodiversity loss and further environmental pollution. In this way, we shape the concept of corporate social responsibility.
