EcoMat Jute
EcoMat Jute is a reinforced non-woven blanket of 100% biodegradable jute fibres designed to provide a medium term ground cover.
As a planting medium EcoMat Jute assists with the retention of moisture and the suppression of competitive weeds during early plant establishment. Depending on the local conditions the Jute Matting will break down over a period of 18 to 36 months.
EcoMat Jute can also be used for erosion protection on slopes and as a temporary erosion control cover on earthworks and construction projects. With 2m wide rolls it is an ideal solution for applications such as bunds where the product can be left in situ to break down naturally.
This jute matting is also an ideal solution for the temporary face of a DuraMesh wall which will hold the fill material in situ until the vegetation layer is fully established.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is jute?
Jute is a strong natural fibre derived from the jute plant which is grown primarily in the Indian sub-continent.
What weight product should should I consider?
This will depend on your application. The heavier the product, the greater the weed reduction and moisture retention.
Does EcoMat Jute eliminate weeds altogether?
As a rule of thumb the heavier the grade of jute the longer weeds will be held back. Weeds will often be present in the existing soil and also can be airborne and germinate on top of the jute if the right conditions prevail. EcoMat Jute will slow down the establishment of weeds but not completely eliminate them.
