Where to use Fibertex BioWeedControl
Perfect for areas with a temporary need for weed control, such as:
- Newly planted slopes, Hedges, Garden beds
The fabric protects plants until they are strong enough to compete with weeds. After serving its purpose, the fabric naturally decomposes and becomes part of the soil.
Why choose Fibertex BioWeedControl
Compared to alternatives like PLA fibre fabrics:
- Biodegrades naturally in soil (PLA requires industrial composting at high heat & moisture)
- Higher strength and elasticity
- Easier handling and more reliable performance outdoors
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The natural biodegradation process starts when the fabric touches the soil. Over time, Fibertex BioWeedControl breaks down into harmless, natural components – designed to return to nature without leaving waste.
Compared to standard polyester products, Fibertex BioWeedControl biodegrades at a highly accelerated rate. According to standard ASTM tests, the average biodegradation of Fibertex BioWeedControl is 40 times faster than standard polyester. The concrete rate of biodegradation is strongly depending on the environmental conditions at the installation site. The degrading process is activated when the product is placed in contact with soil. Fibertex BioWeedControl fully biodegrades into natural components, namely biomass, carbon dioxide and water. The products are designed to return to materials found in nature.

Installation
The fabric is installed in the same way as any weed control product. For anchoring it to the ground, the traditional solution of metal staples can be used; however, wooden stakes are the preferred alternative to ensure complete biodegradation of the temporary mulching solution.
