Geo-textiles are made of pure coir, drawn from the husk of the coconut, and without adding any synthetic material. It is used as a blanket to prevent soil erosion, and accelerates the growth of vegetation on banks and slopes.
Advantages of Coir Geotextile (Coco Net)
It is used for soil stabilization, reinforcement, and landscaping and erosion control. Since coir fiber is naturally resistant to rot, mould and moisture, no chemical treatment is required. Geo-textiles can dissipate the energy of flowing water, absorb excess solar radiation, and control erosion in stream banks, slopes, wetlands, hillside soils and golf courses.
Geotextiles have been voted as the Best Management Practice by many Environmental and Governmental Organizations to help reduce soil loss and establish new vegetation.
