Ecoposte is revolutionising road safety with its innovative and sustainable support technology for road signs. Designed to be a vital safety device, Ecoposte has undergone extensive collision tests in Europe, including 14 official tests and over 50 pre-tests, ensuring it not only meets but surpasses international safety standards. Its proven design guarantees structural integrity during an impact, contributing to lower impact severity and preventing vehicle destabilisation. Ecoposte is approved for various installations, including single, double, or multiple posts, and has been tested for use at heights of 2.1m and above from the ground.
What truly sets Ecoposte apart is its commitment to a sustainable future. As the world's first company to develop a sustainable passive safety device, Ecoposte posts are crafted from 100% recycled plastic materials. Their production process ensures full utilisation of raw materials and uses reused water, with no residue discharged into the water supply. This dedication to eco-efficiency is further evidenced by Ecoposte's ABNT green seal and Bureau Veritas carbon footprint seal, an internationally recognised certification for eco-efficient products against greenhouse gas emissions. For every 1,000 posts produced, an estimated 400 trees are saved, and the company recycles approximately 15 tonnes of plastic daily.
Beyond its environmental benefits and safety features, Ecoposte offers remarkable durability and cost-effectiveness. With a projected lifespan of 50 years, it provides a low total cost of ownership due to minimal maintenance and replacement needs. The material is fortified with anti-UV protection and flame retardants, making it highly resistant to natural wear, environmental elements, and roadside fires. Ecoposte also demonstrates excellent temperature resistance, maintaining its structural integrity in extreme cold (below 0°C) and hot climates, preventing brittleness or impact absorption loss.
Righton Blackburns serves as the sole UK distributor of Ecoposte, offering a reliable and efficient delivery service from its 10 UK service centres. Ecoposte is also competitively priced, being the only passive post that allows for 300mm post spacings for certain diameters, which can replace larger galvanised posts in some cases. Ecoposte has achieved EN12899 certification and is recognised globally by over 60 entities, making it the ultimate choice for road safety and a sustainable future.
