Canadians Patent Biodegradable Geotextile Bags

Clean-up of Lake with Removal of 17,000 Tonnes of Sediment and New Zealand Pygmyweed Invasive Species into Geotextile Bags
The use of geotextile bags for the drying of removed sediment solved another challenge in containing the New Zealand pygmyweed (Crassula helmsii), a schedule 9 invasive species. Using the geotextile bags will ensure that any removed pygmyweed from the lake will be trapped and unable to photosynthesise and will die off during the drying of the sediment. Before spreading this sediment as topsoil, each geotextile bag will be checked by a qualified ecologist to ensure that any pygmyweed in the bags has been properly eradicated.
