About

Vital Eco-Nett is manufactured from certified compostable resin*, binders and natural softening agents. This netting offers a high level of mechanical strength, rigidity and durability. Once laid in the ground and in contact with soil, moisture, microbes and fungi, the netting will start to degrade depending on the nature of the soil and the climatic conditions. Vital Eco-Nett is a compostable and ethically sourced alternative to geotextiles, such as geofabrics and jute mesh.

Sustainability Outcomes

Vital Eco-Nett is a certified compostable alternative to geotextiles, delivering a highly effective product while maintaining environmentally sustainable attributes. When used as an erosion and sediment control, drain reinforcement or concentrated flow solution, Vital Eco-Nett may help toward achieving Dis-1 ISv1.2 and Env-1 ISv2.1.

Vital Eco-Nett has been tested and certified to not contain any toxins like PFAS, heavy metals or plasticisers and to not show any toxic effect on plants and earthworms as per OED 207/208 standards and the disintegration process does not generate any persistent microplastics. Using Vital Eco-Nett as a replacement for geotextile products may help toward achieving Eco-1 ISv2.1.

Applicable Credits

IS v1.2	Discharges to Air, Land and Water (Dis)-1, Ecology (Eco)-1, Innovation-1
IS v2.1/IS v2.2	Ecology (Eco)-1, Environmental Impacts (Env)-1, Innovation-1, Legacy (Leg)-1

Eco-1 (ISv2.1)	Vital Eco-Nett provides a compostable netting that when applied to support erosion, stabilisation and revegetation reinforcement applications can provide environmental benefits with a high level of strength, rigidity and durability whilst its certified compostable properties allow the product to degrade without generating any persistent microplastics.
Env-1 (ISv2.1)	Vital Eco-Nett is a best practice solution when used on projects to help reduce erosion and sediment impacts to receiving water, aiding in locking in the seed during watering and rainfall events.
Leg-1 (ISv2.1)	Vital Eco-Nett is a certified non-hazardous netting and has been tested and certified to not contain any toxins like PFAS, heavy metals or plasticisers and to not show any toxic effect on plants and earthworms as per OED 207/208 standards. When used as an alternative to traditional geotextiles, such as geofrabics and jute mesh, it will degrade and the disintegration process will not generate any persistent microplastics.
Inn-1 (ISv2.1)	Contributes to Innovation Challenge 4: Sustainable Suppliers and ISupply.
Dis-1 (ISv1.2)	Vital Eco-Nett is a best practice solution when used on projects to help reduce erosion and sediment impacts to receiving water, aiding in locking in the seed during watering and rainfall events.
