Permeable Pavers in Canada: Then And Now
From our roots in German innovation to our future in sustainable, made-in-Canada infrastructure, we’re a global-minded company with a product grounded in a long-term vision. Throughout Ecoraser’s twenty-year history, innovation, teamwork and sustainable design have been at the core of what we do. And it’s not just Ecoraster; the entire history of permeable paving has relied on invention and innovation to get where it is today.
Permeable paving may seem like a very modern invention; however, it has been used in Europe since at least the 19th century. The concept gained traction in the 1970s, when scientists began testing it, and the first guidelines for the design and function of the material were published in 1977. ECORASTER® was born twenty years later, in Germany; it has since spread across the globe, and the company has even earned NATO certification status.
The MAPLE Business Council is an organization focused on building a bridge between American and Canadian companies in order to facilitate trade and provide mutual benefits to all. We couldn’t be prouder to be included in this U.S-Canada-trade-focused alliance and to be part of the continued improvement of the relationship between our countries. We can’t wait to see what the future holds!
