A MODULAR SYSTEM FOR CULTIVATING PLANTS ON A SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICAL PLANE, A CASSETTE ADAPTED TO BE ATTACHED TO WALL, AND A PLANT SUBSTRATE ADAPTED TO FIT IN A CASSETTE
The present invention relates to a modular system, primarily for active plant walls and means to build these. In public buildings and offices, the air often feels heavy and oxygen deficient. Bacteria and viruses are spread around through mismanaged ventilation systems. Another serious pollution in these environments is different VOC gases, such as benzene, xylene and formaldehyde, which are released from furniture, fabrics, paints and all kinds of building materials and appliances. One way to improve the air is to install active plant walls, where air is drawn from the room through the substrate material, in which the plants are planted, whereby the air moreover gets filtered from particles and, surprisingly, also purified from harmful VOC gases, by organisms which cooperate with the roots. The invention discloses a system for building modular active plant walls by means of plant modules, consisting of stable, humidity holding, cassettes which each fixates an inserted plant substrate, which is formed so that all the plant modules form a homogeneous front and no additional air slips between them and that water supplied to the modules can reach the underlying plant modules, in a leak proof way, and humidity simultaneously is transferred sideways.
