About

VE Geo-Loc Made by Rubisco 100% Wool Geotextile is a natural fibre geotextile product engineered from New Zealand grown strong wool, produced as a needle-punched nonwoven with no synthetic inputs.

The 100% wool blend geotextile is a sustainably developed alternative to traditional and synthetic geotextiles and provides weed suppression and landscaping capabilities, moisture management properties and prioritises nutrient return to the soil. This product is well suited to horticulture, amenity planting and garden bed establishment projects.

VE Geo-Loc Made by Rubisco 100% Wool Geotextile is available in varying GSM thicknesses to support a wide range of applications, and comes in both roll and tile formats.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS:
• Land stabilisation
• 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 maintenance and reduced labour 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
• Contains wool, natural fire-resistant properties
• Insulation properties deliver protection against frost
• Holds moisture, reducing watering and supporting vegetation growth

Sustainability Outcomes

VE Geo-Loc Made by Rubisco 100% Wool Geotextile is a natural fibre geotextile range engineered from New Zealand grown strong wool, produced as a needle-punched nonwoven with no synthetic inputs.

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 fiber composition mitigates the risk of releasing microplastics, plastics and chemicals into the environment.
