100% biodegradable and compostable erosion control mat, based on 100% renewable resources
Product
- Open structured nonwoven mat made of biopolymer and natural fibres (mesh)
- Ecoprotect is 100% biodegradable and compostable
- Based on 100% renewable resources
- 100% wind energy is used for the production of PLA fibers and biononwovens

Market and use
Ecoprotect is combined with seeding before installation. Ecoprotect will prevent surface erosion (rain, run-off and wind) on bare surfaces and will protect the seeds. The mat will biodegrade slowly and will form at the end of life time nutrients for the established vegetation. No non-biodegradable synthetic elements will remain in the ground. No synthetic fabrics or nets will hinder mowing.
Advantages
- Ecoprotect avoids the use of synthetic mats or natural fibre mats reinforced with PP-nets
- Prevent surface erosion on vulnerable surfaces
- Ecoprotect is a compact and easy to handle/transport product
- Available in widths up to 4 m (lower installation cost and time)
- Is fully permeable, allows almost all rainwater to penetrate the soil (helps to retain the moisture content in the soil)
- Slowly degrades into compost for vegetation
