Recycled materials Agree with Catharine that "green pavers" is meant. http://www.forcedgreen.com/2009/08/vast-green-pavers/
Catharine Cellier-Smart Sep 17, 2011:
Green Pavers? What is being landscaped here? The only thing that comes to my mind is "green pavers" (see http://greenterrafirma.com/grass-pavers.html for an example) but it seems rather a large surface for green paving, unless it's for a carpark.

green ("eco") pavers

By green, I believe that they mean eco-friendly composite bricks/blocks for surfacing patios and other outdoor spaces - not the color. There is an example at: http://www.green-talk.com/2009/04/08/vast-pavers-are-the-gre... Here they are actually called "paviours" (I think it's a French style of word like the British "maisonette"). http://www.ivillage.co.uk/how-lay-a-patio/79531
