Ecoposte, an innovator in sustainable safety solutions, has achieved a major milestone. Our safety pole has passed the rigorous MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) crash test.
This makes us the first sustainable safety post approved for North American highways. This certification reflects our commitment to safer, greener infrastructure.
MASH: The Gold Standard in Roadside Safety
MASH, or the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware, is the industry standard for evaluating roadside safety devices.
Developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), MASH ensures hardware performs effectively in real-world collisions. This includes signposts, guardrails, and crash cushions.
What MASH Certification Means for Ecoposte
MASH certification requires extensive crash testing at various speeds and angles. For Ecoposte, this means our safety pole meets strict requirements:
- Structural Integrity: The signpost remains stable upon impact.
- Energy Absorption: Crash forces are reduced, protecting vehicle occupants.
- Vehicle Stability: The pole doesn’t cause dangerous vehicle movements.
- Occupant Risk: Injury potential is minimized for drivers and passengers.
State and provincial agencies require MASH-compliant hardware. This makes MASH a key benchmark for road safety equipment in North America.
Ecoposte: Sustainable Safety in Action
Ecoposte is made from 100% recycled plastic, with a low CO2 emission and an ABNT Green Seal. The safety pole provides lasting, ecological safety.
Passing the MASH test proves our dedication to safety. Ecoposte is the only sustainable signpost approved for North American highways, offering an environmentally friendly option for roadway signage.
