Sustainability & impact of MobiGa systems

🌱 The advantages at a glance:

  • Maximum impact in the smallest of spaces: 4–10 times more green space than conventional planters

  • Self-sufficient irrigation: up to 6 weeks without external water supply thanks to rainwater harvesting

  • Sustainable materials: durable, repairable, fully recyclable

  • Circular economy concept: waste-free production, packaging-free transport, reuse and recycling of materials

  • Climate impact: reduces heat islands and improves the microclimate

  • Social added value: enhances quality of stay, promotes interaction and biodiversity

  • Multifunctional: Ideally combines a variety of global sustainability goals

Innovation & Design

The MobiGa systems were developed with the aim of achieving maximum climate and ecological impact in the smallest possible space.

  • A green space 4 to 10 times larger than that provided by conventional planters can be created in just 2–3 m² of floor space.

  • The vertical design increases efficiency by offering more planting space per square meter while saving space in densely built-up city centers or open spaces.

  • Modular and already greened upon delivery. No anchoring in the ground necessary. Easy to transport with a pallet truck and therefore ideal for immediate greening.

  • All systems are designed to collect rainwater and store it in an integrated water tank. This water is then distributed to the plants as needed. No water or electricity connection is required.

  • This system allows the plants to be self-sufficient for up to six weeks —without external irrigation.

An integral part of the S model series is the multifunctional sun sail:

  • It provides shade and reduces the heating of surfaces.

  • At the same time, it acts as a rainwater collector: even 20 mm of rainfall fills the integrated 400-liter cistern with around 150 liters.

From the outset, product development places great emphasis on resource conservation, reusability, and ecological footprint. In the long term, MobiGa aims for CO₂-positive and waste-free production.

Materials & Life Cycle

The choice of materials follows a clear principle: durability, repairability, and complete recyclability.

  • Wood: FSC-certified European pine (Kebony), treated with environmentally friendly furfuryl alcohol. Durability: over 30 years without chemical glazes.

  • Steel: uncoated stainless steel – single-grade, extremely durable, fully recyclable.

  • Substrate and fertilizer: specially developed for MobiGa systems, peat-free and sourced from regional cycles. The microbiologically activated plant charcoal it contains promotes water retention capacity, air supply, nutrient storage, and plant health. The substrate permanently stores approximately 275 kg of CO₂ equivalents per cubic meter.

  • Textiles: Sun sails made from fully recyclable polyethylene monofilament.

  • Plants: Perennial winter-hardy shrubs and climbing plants – non-toxic, insect-friendly, and long-lasting.

The concept of recycling also applies to production:

  • Rental systems are reconditioned after use and reused.

  • Transportation is carried out without packaging.

  • The overall concept pursues waste-free production with maximum resource conservation.

Circulation principle in detail

The sustainable design of MobiGa systems is based on a consistent circular approach. Every phase—from material selection to long-term use—is geared toward conserving resources, avoiding waste, and achieving maximum service life.

  1. Responsibly selected – only sustainable materials such as FSC-certified wood, uncoated stainless steel, and recyclable textiles.

  2. Efficiently processed – resource-saving, durable, and modularly repairable.

  3. Further utilization – processing and reuse in the rental system, single-type recycling of components.

  4. Preserved for the long term – the goal is waste-free production and closed material cycles.

Climate & social impact

MobiGa systems make a measurable contribution to climate adaptation in urban areas:

  • Reduction of urban heat islands through greening and shading and optional high-pressure spray mist.

  • Improving the quality of stay: Green benches invite people to linger and improve the microclimate.

  • Promoting biodiversity through shrubs, herbs, and climbing plants that provide food sources and habitats for insects.

  • Social added value: Green spaces become places where people can meet, promote social interaction, and contribute to positive urban development.

This makes MobiGa systems an immediately implementable measure for livable, climate-resilient locations —flexible, modular, and resource-efficient.

Our approach

MobiGa's claim connects:

  • Circular thinking in all stages of production and use

  • Resource-saving choice of materials with a focus on reusability

  • Modular durability that enables decades of use

  • Demonstrable climate and social impact in urban areas

With this combination of innovation, sustainability, and practicality, MobiGa systems offer a forward-looking contribution to the urban and open space design of tomorrow.
