VAST Enterprises has invented and patented technology that turns post-consumer recycled rubber and plastics into an environmentally friendly composite material for green building. The VAST scientific breakthrough: the world's first composite material that consists almost entirely of recycled materials and provides the structural strength, durability and aesthetics required for hardscape applications. All VAST composite masonry products are made from up to 95 percent recycled automobile tires and gallon-size plastic containers. VAST Composite Pavers are cradle-to-cradle green, and they can contribute to six or more LEED credits.
VAST's grid system enables professional contractors to increase installation precision and productivity in both commercial and residential construction of parking lots, driveways, walkways, sidewalks and patios. VAST pavers are also light enough to be used on flat roofs, rooftop patios and decks, and their excellent slip resistance makes them a good choice for pool areas. Available in six rich, earth tone colors, VAST Composite Pavers are backed by a 10-year limited warranty with a lifetime warranty against cracking in residential applications.
