Sustainable Slope Stabilization and Vegetation Establishment

Product Overview
Ecological Bags are engineered geotextile containers designed for eco-friendly erosion control, slope reinforcement, and green infrastructure projects. Made from UV-stabilized polypropylene fabric, these permeable bags are filled with soil and seeds on-site to create stable vegetated structures that blend seamlessly with natural environments. Ideal for restoring disturbed landscapes while preventing soil loss.

Key Features and Benefits

• Biodegradable & Permanent: Optional biodegradable fabric decomposes after 5–8 years, leaving established vegetation (ASTM D5988).

• High Tensile Strength: Woven polypropylene withstands >2,500 N/m tensile load (ASTM D4595) for structural integrity.

• Vegetation Support: Permeable fabric (≥40 l/m²/sec permittivity) allows root penetration and water exchange.

• Erosion Resistance: Interlocking bag design creates stable gravity walls (up to 85° slope angle).

• Sustainable Construction: Uses on-site fill materials, reducing transport emissions and costs.

Primary Applications

• Slope Revetment: Reinforces embankments, riverbanks, and shorelines.

• Retaining Walls: Builds terraced structures up to 10 m tall without concrete.

• Stormwater Management: Creates vegetated swales and check dams.

• Mine Reclamation: Stabilizes and revegetates disturbed terrain.

• Landscape Architecture: Designs natural-looking terraces and garden walls.

Installation Advantages

• Rapid Assembly: No heavy machinery required; hand-stack with geogrid reinforcement.

• Flexible Design: Adapts to curves and irregular contours.

• Integrated Planting: Fill mix includes native seeds/hydroseed for immediate growth.

• Drainage Compatibility: Natural permeability prevents hydrostatic pressure buildup.

Green Advantages

• Soil Conservation: Reduces sediment runoff by >90% vs. bare slopes.

• Carbon Sequestration: Established vegetation captures 2–5 tons CO₂/acre/year.

• Habitat Creation: Promotes biodiversity with native plant species.

• NSF 347 Certified: Safe for potable water contact in aquatic applications.

Installation Guidelines

1. Prepare Subgrade: Compact and level foundation.

2. Fill Bags: Mix soil, seed, and fertilizer; fill to 80% capacity.

3. Place & Compact: Stagger like masonry; tamp to 150 mm height.

4. Reinforce: Insert geogrid every 3–4 layers for slopes >45°.

5. Irrigate: Water immediately to activate seed germination.

Quality Assurance

• UV resistance: >24 months exposed lifespan (ASTM D4355)

• Biodegradable option: Meets EN 13432 compostability standards

• Third-party tested for tensile, tear, and permittivity performance

• Resists pH 4–10 soils and microbial degradation
