European project LIFE CERSUDS, Ceramic Sustainable Urban Drainage System, funded by the European Commission through the LIFE programme, is developing a sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) that uses ceramic tiles of low commercial value as a flooring filter system.
The main aim of LIFE CERSUDS is to enhance city adaptability to climate change and to foster the use of SuDS and green infrastructure. This will be done by designing and implementing a sustainable urban drainage system (SuDS) demonstrator. The demonstrator will consist of a permeable surface whose skin is made up of an innovative system, with low environmental impact, based on the use of ceramic tiles of low commercial value.
