Duracover
Woven ground textile hardly let light through, so that weeds cannot germinate and grow. No pesticides are needed to control weeds. With the ground textile, the “Japanese knotweed” species can be reduced. The rainwater is allowed through, so that rainwater can effortlessly penetrate the soil.
The canvases for the Tractaatweg have been used to separate soil parts. By applying the textile made from PLA, which are biodegradable, there are no disposal costs.
This product has been developed by Phormium and is made from thermoplastic polymers of lactic acids from corn starch. The textile decay into small fibers that are biodegradable.

Safe
The textiles of fossile material falls apart in strands. PLA falls is small fibers so water birds can not tangled up in the wires.
