as it biodegrades.

Fibre Blend

Mechanical performance and biological soil conditioning working together in a single product, combining what each
fibre brings to the nonwoven.

Fibre Process

Entirely mechanically processed, no syn thetic fibres or chemical inputs.

Market Position

The only EPD-certified natural
fibre geotextile in Australia.
Carbon-negative performance.
