About

VE Geo-Loc Made by Rubisco Wool and Hemp Blend Geotextile is a natural fibre geotextile range engineered from New Zealand grown hemp and strong wool, produced as a needle-punched nonwoven with no synthetic inputs.

The wool and hemp blend geotextile is a sustainably developed alternative to traditional and synthetic geotextiles and provides erosion control, structural performance capabilities and biological soil conditioning across a range of projects including civil construction, infrastructure slope work and revegetation.

VE Geo-Loc Made by Rubisco Wool and Hemp Blend Geotextile is available in varying GSM thicknesses to support a wide range of applications, and comes in both roll and tile formats.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS:

Landstabilisation
Slopes and embankments
Riparian margins
Restoration planting
Council land development
Forestry establishment
Horticultural weed suppression
Public green infrastructure
Landscape separation layers
Sediment control zones near waterways
Site subject to high wind or heavy rainfall events
Highly erodible areas

These uses support municipal procurement, civil contracting, conservation, horticulture, and landscape design where synthetic geotextiles are environmentally unsuitable or incompatible with long term ecological goals.

FEATURES:

Natural and free from microplastics, plastics and chemicals
Biodegradable and fully compostable
Low maintenanceand reducedlabour with no post project removal
Strong and durable
Service life of 18–24 months
Precision-needled for consistent surface quality
Suppresses weeds without harmful herbicides
Containswool, natural fire-resistant properties
Insulation properties deliver protection against frost
Holds moisture, reducing watering and supporting vegetation growth

Sustainability Outcomes

It is biodegradable and fully compostable, and can be left to naturally degrade once applied, providing nutrients to the soil and reducing the requirement for removal and disposal.

The product’s natural fibre composition mitigates the risk of releasing microplastics, plastics and chemicals into the environment.
