Product Spotlight: TerraTex® Bio Fence
At Leggett & Platt, we are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our products across their entire life cycle. Our Geo Components business is putting that commitment into action with innovative solutions like the TerraTex® Bio Fence – a smarter, more sustainable approach to erosion control.
Developed as a more environmentally conscious alternative to traditional plastic silt fences, the TerraTex Bio Fence uses spunbond, nonwoven geotextile made of polylactic fiber (PLA) stitch bonded to coconut burlap fibers. Traditional plastic silt fences are often made from petroleum-based plastics. By eliminating petroleum-based materials, the TerraTex Bio Fence product helps reduce long-term environmental impact without sacrificing strength, durability, or performance.
The TerraTex Bio Fence is designed to minimize plastic waste at job sites by replacing traditional plastic silt fences. The TerraTex Bio Fence offers robust sediment retention and effective erosion control.
“Our team recognized a growing desire for products that perform exceptionally while encouraging responsible stewardship of our environment,” notes Geo Components’ Product Manager, Derek McMahan.
“Backed by the sustainability mindset at Leggett & Platt, we’ve channeled our innovation and resources into developing an alternative to traditional silt fence that answers the call for polypropylene-free materials while still meeting the outstanding performance standards our products are known for.
We’re proud to say that TerraTex Bio Fence has brought Geo Components business to the forefront of conversations about sustainable industry practices and is gaining the support of both customers and state transportation departments (DOTs).”
It’s one more way Leggett & Platt is delivering solutions that support sustainable innovation – helping our customers meet today’s challenges while protecting tomorrow’s resources.
