Welcome to Grastic International
Grastic Erosion Control is a system of inserting strips of plastic into the surface of shifting ground to stabilize and rehabilitate it. The individual plugs adhere much like your boot gets stuck in the mud and require no webs, nets or hard points between them. Soft sand, silt and wet clay are all prime anchoring material for this light weight, low maintainence grass substitute.
A plug buried 4 to 10 inches deep will stay put for years. Grastic sheds heavy rain like a shingle to remain in place. The blades can also retain moisture when the weather gets dry. It is a light touch with powerful implications for the reclamation industry. The cost, complexity and weight of most erosion remedies now has a viable alternative. Grastic Erosion Control.
In the river deltas and wetlands, BAYOU BACKER is a larger GRASTIC plug stuck in the mud to absorb wave energy and catch sediments. Both products are scaleable and the Plastic can have a variety of characteristics including bio-degradability.
I'm Using Plastic Because
It's tough and long lasting from day one. It's track able, recoverable and reusable. It won't die or be eaten by nutria. Grastic is produced from oil at the moment. A plant based substitute would be hard pressed to match it's longevity and ultimate footprint right now.
I'm not littering: Every plug carries my brand and I'll protect that and more. To go up against nature and in particular the ocean, is to expect some losses. If any of the plugs come loose, they will be recovered. All sites can be monitored online and groomed when needed.
Fishermen, land owners, scientists and government officials will soon find Grastic and Bayou Backer are two of the best ways to cheaply and quickly slow erosion.
