WHAT ARE
NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS?

FUNDED BY THE
EUROPEAN UNION
This innovation project, carried out by Biotonomy and Bioazul, and financed by the European Commission through the Metabuilding platform, consists of the construction of a 100 m2 hydroponic vertical garden on the façade of the Hotel Mariposa (Soho, Málaga) connected to a greywater recyling system. The system reuses and treats the wastewater of the building to irrigate more than 2,500 plants of 18 different species that have been carefully selected to adapt to the environment.
