English term or phrase: pervious surface
Definition from Livable Communities Coalition:
A pervious surface is one that allows water to filter into the ground, which enables natural groundwater to recharge, helps with filtration of pollutants, and reduces erosion and flooding. The use of pervious asphalt and concrete for parking lots, roads and sidewalks is an important part stormwater management that conserves precious natural resources.

Example sentence(s):
  • In cold climates (like Minnesota) snow fall on an existing pervious parking area usually disappears on its own before snow on the adjacent, darker colored, impervious suface. Manual snow removal from this pervious surface has seldom been necessary. In the LEED

Notes to answerer
María M. Hernández S. Si es como explica Martin, se me ocurre el verbo desplazar, pero obviamente el objeto directo sería el aire y no las tapas. Por esto me da la impresión de que la idea va en otro sentido. Sabine: las tapas son fabricadas en polímeros? Podría ser que las impregnen en CO2 para que adquieran características particulares. Mira por ejemplo este artículo: https://www.amazings.com/ciencia/noticias/090211a.html
