Coir Erosion Control Systems in New Zealand
Coir erosion control systems include coir matting and coir geo cells, manufactured from 100% natural and biodegradable coir fibre woven into open-mesh structures. Widely used across New Zealand for civil engineering, roading and environmental projects, these products stabilise soil, reduce erosion and support vegetation establishment on slopes, embankments and disturbed land. As the coir biodegrades it adds organic nutrients back into the soil, supporting native vegetation growth and providing long-term stabilisation without leaving synthetic residue in the environment.
Woven open mesh matting made from 100% natural biodegradable coir netting. Holds soil in place on slopes and embankments while vegetation establishes. Available in multiple weights to suit slope gradient and environmental conditions. Available in 400gsm, 600gsm, 700gsm and 900gsm. Rolls from 1m to 4m wide, 50m length.
Coir Geo Cell is a woven coir geotextile formed into a honeycomb cell structure. Each panel is 6ft x 12ft with a cell depth of 150mm. Individual cells are 30cm x 30cm, also available in 40cm x 40cm. Designed for steep slope stabilisation where additional structural reinforcement is required. Cells are filled with soil and planted with saplings or seed to establish permanent vegetation cover.
Coir logs are versatile multi-purpose biodegradable barriers made from tightly packed coconut fibre. Used for erosion control, sediment entrapment, slope stabilisation and waterway bank protection. Suitable for use in and around drains, swales, streams and coastal shorelines.
Why Coir?
Coir fibre is extracted from coconut husks and is one of the strongest natural fibres available. It has a service life of 4 to 5 years depending on site conditions, providing reliable protection while vegetation establishes. As it biodegrades it enriches the soil with organic matter, supporting native plant growth without leaving synthetic residue in the environment. Higher gsm weights provide greater mechanical strength and are suited to steeper slopes and higher-risk erosion environments. Lower gsm weights suit moderate slopes and lower-flow conditions.
Sustainability & Environmental Performance
Coir matting and geo cells are produced from renewable coconut fibre and are fully biodegradable. As the products decompose over 4 to 5 years, they contribute organic matter back into the soil, supporting long-term soil health, native vegetation growth and sustainable land rehabilitation. No synthetic residue is left in the environment once the coir has fully broken down.
