Ecogrid, known as Ecoraster^[1] to most of Europe, is a type of plastic, permeable paving grid used in the construction of parking lots, walkways and other outdoor surfaces.

Ecogrid is marketed as a green technology because it is designed to reduce harmful stormwater runoff and is made with post-consumer plastic to reduce waste.^[2] Ecoraster was trade marked by Purus Plastics in 2008.^[3]

Ecogrid is made from specially selected plastics that are recycled in their Bavarian production centre.^[4] It has a locking mechanism that secures one grid to the next. There are many fill types for this kind of grid system but mainly they are:

Grass
Gravel
Resin bound stone^[5]^[6]
Resin bound rubber crumb
Soil
