The roofing material for a new Recycling Centre at the recently opened Gulliver's Eco Park in Milton Keynes, has been supplied by Onduline.
The developers are said to have chosen the roofing cover because of its low environmental impact. It is made from organic fibres.

Constructed using eco-materials, Onduline's roof covering was suitable for an Ecocabin as it is manufactured from organic fibres which have a low environmental impact.

It combines all the properties of the company's roof sheet, but in an easier to handle conventional tile format, suitable for sectional timber buildings with a minimum pitch of 10?.
