As leading global specialists in microbial revegetation, EnviroStraw is committed to bringing groundbreaking products and solutions to our commercial clientele.

With our hydromulch, contractors are assured of unparalleled value in every bale. Manufactured in Australia using 100% biodegradable, renewable resources, our hydromulch range is meticulously engineered to restore disturbed soils to their natural state effectively and sustainably.

Maximising Efficiency, Minimising Costs

The strength of our hydromulch lies in its capacity to deliver impressive results with less. Our hydromulch products are  designed to elevate productivity on commercial sites by covering up to 50% more area per tank load. This translates into reduced tank refills and therefore, less time and fewer CO2 emissions on site. Not only do you achieve significant cost reductions but also improvements in environmental compliance – a compelling proposition for any client.

But we didn’t stop at area coverage. Our hydromulch products deliver advanced water use efficiency (WUE) to the table, minimising water requirements during both the application process and subsequent watering. This unique characteristic guarantees greater cost-effectiveness and further enhances our hydromulch’s environmentally-friendly profile.

An Innovation in Soil Regeneration

Beyond productivity and environmental benefits, EnviroStraw’s hydromulch range is an innovation in soil regeneration. Composed of thermally processed, annually renewable fibres, it’s completely biodegradable and free of pathogens and weeds. Each bale is infused with bio-stimulants with an exceptional blend of 22 bacterial and fungal species designed to unlock the nutrient content in the soil. This unique microbial blend kickstarts essential natural processes within the ecosystem, improving soil health and assisting faster establishment of native plant species.

Achieving More with a Single Bag Hydromulch Solution

Our all-in-one solutions offer immense benefits for both the environment and your operations. Each bag’s ease of use is unmatched – simply add the contents to the hydromulch tank, introduce the seeds, and spray over the soil. It’s that easy.

We’ve crafted our single bag solution to minimise environmental impact, reducing on-site waste, water usage, and CO2 emissions. Our hydromulch-to-water mix ratio significantly reduces water requirements, lowering your usage by up to 50% compared to traditional products. You can use our water use efficiency calculator to determine your project savings.

Simultaneously, the single bag solution enhances operational efficiency. There’s no need to re-measure inputs or worry about inconsistent hydromulch mixes. Compliance becomes effortless, and the need for ongoing maintenance such as fertiliser reapplication and weed management is significantly reduced.

The Bottom Line

Every bale of EnviroStraw hydromulch represents not just a product, but a promise of quality, efficiency, and sustainability. It’s a promise of covering a larger area in less time, reducing water usage, enhancing soil and plant health, combating nitrogen drawdown, and getting rid of weeds and pathogens. All these advantages enable you to deliver your projects faster and move on to the next job sooner.

With straw-based hydromulch products, contractors and site owners can expect to reap more benefits from what they sow. Give our team of specialists a call on 1300 868 669 to discuss your revegetation needs.

Hydraulic revegetation has been completely revolutionised by a game-changing product: straw-based hydromulch. This innovative mulch not only offers superior coverage, seed protection, and improved soil moisture retention, but also provides unparalleled erosion control. However, not all hydromulch is created equal. In the world of hydraulic revegetation, thermally and mechanically processed straw-based hydromulch stands as the undisputed leader.

The superiority of straw-based hydromulch can be attributed to several key features. Firstly, it’s thermally and mechanically processed, a method which enhances the material’s flexibility and water absorption and ensures its weed seed and pathogen free. Additionally, it’s manufactured from a renewable resource—straw stubble—which unlike woodchip, regrows in months, not years. The production process with other carefully selected inputs creates a thick viscous slurry that ensures exceptional ground coverage and encourages water permeation, providing long-term self-sustaining outcomes. Furthermore, a balanced carbon-to-nitrogen ratio minimises nitrogen drawdown and other nutrient lock-up issues.

EnviroStraw’s hydromulch products stand at the forefront of this category. With our proven track record of delivering lasting results on sites across Australia, our thermally processed straw-based hydromulch not only eliminates harmful insects, pathogens, and viable weed seeds, but also sets the standard for safety and effectiveness in the industry.

Compared to other types of hydromulch, straw-based solutions display several advantages. Cellulose-based hydromulch, often made from recycled newspaper, and wood fibre hydromulch suffer from high carbon-to-nitrogen ratios, leading to nitrogen drawdown issues. They also require high volumes of water during application, increasing CO2 emissions. On the other hand, wood fibre-based hydromulch, though deemed a renewable resource, takes up to 20 years to grow and requires substantial energy for processing.

Our products, including EnviroStraw BFM Complete and EnviroMatrix Erosion Control Matrix (ECM), are designed to improve on-site compliance and deliver truly environmentally responsible outcomes. By covering a greater area per tank, our products reduce carbon emissions and water usage during application and maintenance.

For contractors and site owners, the benefits of our straw-based hydromulch extend beyond environmental outcomes. Its cost-effectiveness is evident in the reduced water usage and the overall cost of resource and maintenance. With an extended functional longevity of up to 18 months on-site, it is also more effective in establishing long-term self-sustaining vegetation solutions. Moreover, the ease of application increases on-site productivity.

The thermally processed straw in our hydromulch provides unmatched advantages. By eliminating weed species and other pathogens, it paves the way for optimal revegetation outcomes. Also, it negates the need for additional binders to adhere it to the soil surface upon application, reducing project costs and the risk of erosion.

At EnviroStraw, we believe that thinking straw is the key to successful revegetation projects. This belief is reflected in our suite of products which incorporate advanced microbial technology to improve outcomes and compliance. Combined with our BioGrowth program product range, these products support native plant growth and rebuild disturbed soils, working with natural processes to ensure sustainable, long-term success.

Additionally, as an Australian-owned and operated company, we use Australian materials across our manufacturing and distribution supply chain. This provides us with a unique understanding of Australia’s climate and ecosystem, enabling us to tailor our products to suit these conditions.

By choosing EnviroStraw, you’re not just choosing a product—you’re choosing a commitment to cost-efficiency, environmental responsibility, and sustainable revegetation. Our hydromulch products are designed to achieve the desired outcome fast, reducing the need for expensive reworks. Remember, when revegetation projects fail, the financial loss creates significant budget constraints and environmental harm. Our products, however, are designed to help you get it right the first time, avoiding the need for costly reworks.

We also understand the importance of supporting native plant growth. Our advanced hydromulch products are designed to enhance native plant establishment, providing the best results when combined with our BioGrowth Regenerative Revegetation program.

As we move forward, our commitment to producing environmentally responsible, high-quality straw-based hydromulch remains unwavering. With each bag of our hydromulch, we provide an advanced suite of microbes, phytonutrients, natural wetting agents, biostimulants designed to kickstart the process of nature and rebuild disturbed soils. This commitment to sustainability doesn’t end with our products; we are also dedicated to supporting Australian farmers and contributing positively to the local economy.
