Filtrexx™ GreenLoxx Wall System
Filtrexx™ GreenLoxx Wall™ is a green alternative for retaining walls. The GreenLoxx Wall is a vegetated mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) system. It consists of the integration of a Geogrid, vegetation and a fascia consisting of FilterSoxx filled with Filtrexx GrowthMedia.
