Erosion Control Blankets
CONTACT FOR PRICING
Terrafibre Erosion Control Blankets are high-performance mats for stabilizing soil, preventing sediment runoff, and promoting vegetation growth. Made from sustainably-grown Alberta hemp fibre with a recycled natural cellouse backing or jute, these mats are 100% biodegradable and decompose naturally without leaving behind harmful residues—making them ideal for environmentally sensitive projects and wildlife-friendly applications.
Engineered for slope stabilization, disturbed soil areas, roadside embankments, stream banks, mine reclamation, and agricultural applications, Terrafibre Hemp Erosion Control Blankets provide exceptional ground coverage while allowing water and nutrients to pass through. The natural fibre structure helps retain moisture, reduce surface temperature, and create a microclimate that supports seed germination, root development, and long-term vegetation establishment.
Erosion Blankets are used for the following applications:
- Slope Protection
- Channel & Ditch Linings
- Reservoir Embankments & Spillways
- Culvert Inlets & Outfalls
- Dikes
- Levees
- Riverbanks
Applications:
- Soil stabilization & erosion control
- Site reclamation & re-vegetation
- Highway & utility corridor slope protection
- Riverbanks, wetlands, & shorelines
- Agricultural field perimeters & regenerative farming
- Urban green infrastructure & restoration projects
The scrim backing consists of 100% recycled material, with a minimum of 40% being post consumer content. String reinforcement is made of 100% biodegradable rayon with three (3) openings per lineal inch.

- Easy to Install
- Water Holding – Hemp Fibres will hold 1050% it’s Weight in Water
Hemp Erosion Control
Engineered, High-Performance
Natural Erosion Control
Engineered hemp fibre blankets deliver superior performance, predictable longevity, and complete biodegradability, with net-free options available for wildlife-safe and environmentally sensitive applications.
Fibre Strength & Durability
Hemp’s natural fiber structure delivers superior tensile strength that outperforms straw and rivals synthetic options.
Predictable Biodegradation
24–36 month degradation window aligns with vegetation establishment, eliminating premature failure or persistent waste.
Non-Trapping Available
& Wildlife-Safe
Non-trapping design available, eliminating wildlife entanglement risk, preventing microplastic contamination, and ensuring safer maintenance and mowing operations.
High Lignin Content
The natural lignin in hemp fibres resists UV degradation and helps maintain structural integrity through changing weather conditions.
Proven In The Field
Trusted by Parks Canada for trails, slopes, and riparian restoration across Canada’s most sensitive environments.
- Trail and pathway stabilization
- Steep slope protection
- Riparian and shoreline restoration
- Wetland and ecological buffers

Frequently asked questions
What does BioComposites Group mean by “non-woven mats”?
Non-woven mats are engineered fiber materials made by mechanically bonding or entangling fibers together into a consistent sheet without weaving or knitting. At BioComposites Group, we use industrial hemp and other natural fibers that are processed — often by needle-punching — to create a strong, uniform mat structure tailored to different applications.
How are your non-woven mats different from traditional woven or synthetic mats?
Unlike woven materials, non-woven mats don’t require yarns or weaving processes. This allows us to directly use raw fibers and blend them for specific performance characteristics. And because our mats are made from natural fibers like hemp instead of plastic or synthetic materials, they are fully biodegradable and reduce environmental impact.
What benefits do non-woven hemp mats offer?
Eco-friendly & biodegradable: Our mats naturally break down over time, eliminating plastic residues in soil and ecosystems.
Customization: We can tailor fiber blends and thickness to specific uses — from erosion control blankets to grow mats and automotive applications.
Performance: Hemp fibers provide excellent strength, moisture retention, and soil adhesion while still being lightweight.
Enhanced soil & vegetation outcomes: In applications like landscape and restoration, non-woven hemp mats help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and support plant establishment.
