BioMac™ is a biodegradable coir mat manufactured from randomly arranged coconut husk fibres layered between photosensitive polypropylene netting.

BioMac’s three-ply composite provides immediate erosion control and a stable medium to support healthy plant growth. The closely arranged fibres intercept the energies of impacting raindrops and water scour, keeping the underlying soil in place. The dense mat acts as mulch, creating a localised water reservoir for the soil below. With time, the coir material biodegrades, enhancing the soil fertilisation and the cohesive strength of the root systems. At this point the flexible nature of the plants become the primary stabilising and protecting element.

Depending on climate conditions, the biodegradation period is typically 2-3 years. BioMac™ provides nature with a helping hand at erosion control and vegetation generation. In certain instances BioMac™ may be used in conjunction with double twist wire mesh reinforcement.
