The Stratec 500 Jute Erosion Control Mesh exhibits the highest degree of flexibility and drape of all biodegradable 
erosion control geotextiles. Optimum soil retention performance is achieved when the closest soil-to-geotextile fit 
has been achieved. These properties correspond to excellent soil retention performance compared to other products 
as highlighted by research from the Department of Soil Science, Cranfield University, UK. 
Each year Jute crops are sustainably managed and from seeding to harvest, one hectare absorbs as much as 15 
tonnes of CO2. Because the Stratec 500 Jute Erosion Control Mesh is made of 100% jute, the CO2 footprint of a 
project can be reduced by more than 3kg CO2 for every m2 installed.
