Marley Eternit’s pollution busting Ecologic roof tile was specified on a housing renewal project being run by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (CBC) as two of the locations have considerable traffic volumes resulting in related pollution issues. The coating used on the innovative tile triggers a reaction under the influence of UV radiation in sunlight which converts harmful asthma-causing pollutant nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitric acid ions. To date 80 properties with a combined roof area of 60m² per property have been re-roofed using 48,000 Ecologic roof tiles. By the time the conclusion of the renewal work in five years time, approximately 400 properties will have been renovated using approximately a quarter of a million Ecologic tiles.
