The Ecomatt Weed Control Fabric Mats provide a highly effective solution for weed and grass suppression around newly planted trees, shrubs, and whips. Made from 100% recycled materials, these mats reduce the need for chemical herbicides by preventing weed competition, allowing young plants to establish strong, healthy root systems. Designed to support sustainable forestry, woodland creation, roadside verges, and land restoration projects, Ecomatt mats combine environmental responsibility with practical durability.

Crafted from recycled jute fibers sourced from repurposed rice, cocoa, and coffee bags, and backed by recycled polypropylene film, these mats ensure both sustainability and performance. The needle-punched jute bonded to a breathable film backing promotes optimal water and air permeability, enabling moisture retention and soil aeration critical for plant health, particularly during dry conditions. The mats also create a natural insulating microclimate to support vigorous root development and plant establishment.
