    Where can we get details on the composition of the barrier layer, filter layer if we do not have such items in our country. Also can we make our own drain layer as we do not have such items available here.

    not mentioned is Plastics, (depending upon the type) 1.7 to 3.5kg carbon to produce 1 kg of plastic and the molecules escape and get into the environment. Why not have a green roof with 100% no plastic by using xerophyte plants?

      Don't listen to this guy. He's a fraud. Go research Norwegian turf houses. For plants, use the native plants in your area. Grasses and groundcobera with shallow root structures.

      I suppose theoretically it should be possible to use a slate layer as a natural way of keeping the water off (as long as the roof is pitched), and use gravel on top of that for the drainage layer. Then use a layer of sand for filtration. Use soil on top of the sand for the growing layer.
      Although the incredible amount of weight that would add would need some serious structural support from the building, so it might not be practical in most cases.

    If you can't do it without plastic then you've completely missed the point .
