Green Geotextiles®
The Green Geotextiles®
Made From Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic Bottles
"ONE TRUCKLOAD OF GEOTEXTILES SAVES 300,000 BOTTLES FROM LANDFILLS"
Americans use approximately 2,000,000 plastic bottles every hour!
High-quality rewettable polyester, made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. The Green Geotextiles® can be used for LEED Credit/Certification
Also available in "GREEN" format for LEED credit: Pre-fabricated Drainage Boards, Liners/Geomembranes, Geogrids, Erosion Control Blankets - Organic & Permanent
