North American Green’s BioNet® 100% Biodegradable Erosion Control Blankets named ASABE’s 100th Anniversary Top 10 AE50 Award Winner
EVANSVILLE, (Ind.) – June 26, 2007. Each year since 1986, the American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers (ASABE) honors 50 outstanding innovations in product or systems technology that have potential for broad impact on its area or industries served by agricultural, food, and biological systems engineering. North American Green’s 100% biodegradable erosion control blankets was one of the 50 premier products honored in 1986.
At the onset of 2006, ASABE’s centennial year, a panel of experts studied all past recipients of AE50 awards since the programs inception in 1986. Ten products, representative of a high caliber of innovation with proven market acceptance, were selected for the Society’s “anniversary spotlight,” with North American Green’s BioNet 100% Biodegradable Erosion Control Blanket being named as one of those Top 10 winners.
North American Green’s BioNet® Series of 100% natural biodegradable erosion control blankets offers “Natural Solutions for Natural Problems” by providing effective and all-natural erosion control and vegetation establishment assistance in an environmentally and wildlife friendly manner. All products in the BioNet Series are composed of 100% organic, naturally biodegradable materials. The jute netting on the top side of all BioNet products is constructed using the leno weave method to ensure blanket and fiber retention under severe conditions by intertwining and securing the cross-directional netting strands. The BioNet Series of products have been used extensively in wetland restoration, bioengineering projects, environmentally sensitive areas, shaded areas and stream banks, and shoreline applications, all with guaranteed natural success of the projects.
“Today, we offer four different blankets within the group as well as several other totally biodegradable products, introduced since our award in 1986. We are proud that BioNet products were selected for ASABE’s 100th Anniversary Top 10 AE50 Award,” says Lynne Finney, Marketing Manager for North American Green.
North American Green’s BioNet 100% Biodegradable Erosion Control Blankets were also honored in 2005 as a “Top10 Product” in the Green Build Industry.
