Infrastructure bioreversibility

"Bioreversibility" implies that infrastructures built with stone materials, such as BATISTEN, from uncontaminated soils can be crushed, decomposed and reintegrated into the environment in a controlled manner in such a way that the resulting substrate allows the germination of seeds, the growth of plants and colonization by living organisms such as insects, worms, etc.

Some critical aspects of this concept would be:

  1. Compatible chemical composition: Use stone materials, such as BATISTÉN, whose chemical composition allows its crushing and gradual decomposition into particles similar to fertile soil.
  2. Porosity and structure: Achieve adequate porosity and physical structure in the resulting substrate to allow drainage, aeration and plant rooting.
  3. Nutrient retention: The crushed material can retain and gradually release essential nutrients for plant growth.
  4. Absence of contaminants: Avoid the use of additives or toxic compounds that prevent the development of life in the final substrate.
  5. Integration with the environment: The "bioreversible substrate" integrates harmoniously with the surrounding soils and favours the continuity of natural ecosystems.

In essence, "bioreversibility" from this approach seeks to ensure that stone constructions, such as those in BATISTÉN, once their useful life has ended, can be reintegrated into the natural cycle in a controlled manner, creating a favourable environment for the resurgence of plant and animal life, in those areas.
