The role of environmentally responsible inputs on project sites

EnviroStraw’s innovative use of biodegradable and compostable materials, such as wheat straw, serve as sustainable alternatives to traditional wood-based solutions.

Our Australian-made revegetation products are native plant-friendly, reduce carbon emissions, non-leaching` and lower water consumption on sites. Read on to find out more about the role of environmentally responsible inputs and how EnviroStraw’s products are supporting a circular economy.

The benefits of using environmentally responsible inputs on your site

Environmentally responsible inputs are products that won’t harm our environment. They don’t leach into the environment, and if they do end up in our waterways they won’t harm the fish or other wildlife and native vegetation in the area. EnviroBond, our range of Hydromulch binders, Fertiliser, BFM, BFM Complete and EnviroMatrix are all considered environmentally responsible, and EnviroStraw’s use of recycled products is another way we’re actively caring for our environment.

When a contractor or client is using non-environmentally responsible inputs, it usually comes down to a lack of market education rather than willful harm. Being environmentally conscious is talked about a lot in our society, but it’s not always actioned – often because contractors aren’t doing careful research on the products being used.

Rather than influencing the project outcome, selecting sustainable options is about reducing the impact on the environment, including volitisation leaching, soil contamination and waterway contamination. Choosing an environmentally responsible option also supports carbon sequestration, thus reducing the carbon emissions and overall carbon footprint of the project.

EnviroStraw’s products support a circular economy

By using recycled materials, EnviroStraw’s products support a circular economy – straw is used instead of being burnt in paddocks, and paper is recycled. Additionally, man-made inputs such as fertiliser and polymers – found in our products – have independent evidence supporting their safety regarding the environment.

How do I implement the BioGrowth™ program on my site?

EnviroStraw’s BioGrowth™ program is a sustainable and innovative solution for sites requiring regeneration of vegetation. If that sounds like your site, you might be wondering how to implement BioGrowth on your site. In this blog, we explain how to do just that, as well as the benefits of doing so.

How do I implement BioGrowth™ on my site?

During the initial stage of setting up the BioGrowth™ program for your site, it’s important to carry out soil testing that  one of our approved labs will then examine. This will give us a clear indication of the soil health of the project and which EnviroStraw revegetation strategy is the best solution. You’ll also need to give our team specifics regarding your project, including location, size, slope % and the desired outcome. Once we have the soil data and information, we have everything we need to get started on your site.

Are there any risks involved?

BioGrowth is a reliable and safe product that comes with very little risk, though climatic conditions can have an impact and should be planned for in advance where possible. Our team will provide a site specific program which includes conditioning to rebalance the soil to enhance microbial activity, and we will also recommend which of our Hydromulching products are best suited for your particular site and project. This is why it’s so important to supply the EnviroStraw team with these specifics before implementing the program.

What are the benefits of the BioGrowth™ program compared to traditional products?

The BioGrowth™ program delivers time and money savings – benefitting clients in many ways, including:

  • Mix more, spray more – finish the project in less time by mixing more product and spraying more per tank
  • Reduced water requirements
  • Reduced need for soil conditioning and amelioration practices
  • Reduced on-site traffic management
  • Fewer carbon emissions
  • Lower application costs
  • Post-application water savings
  • Native plant-friendly
  • Australian-made
  • Proven on Aussie projects
  • Independently tested
  • Full range of products

Is the BioGrowth™ program a sustainable solution?

The BioGrowth™ revegetation program and the associated products are engineered to decompose into organic matter in composting conditions, reducing the long-term waste burden on landfills and minimising the overall environmental impact on your site. BioGrowth™ is native plant-friendly, has fewer carbon emissions than traditional solutions and reduces water waste. Overall, BioGrowth™ is the perfect solution for projects aiming to operate sustainably and in an environmentally-aware manner.

BioGrowth™ is the sustainable choice for your site.
