Ecofender™ Bio is a biodegradable newt fencing made from a plant-based biopolymer. It is designed to temporarily exclude or contain small wildlife, such as newts, frogs, and snakes, protecting them from entering hazardous areas like construction sites.

Conventional plastic temporary newt fencing can contribute significantly to microplastic pollution on construction sites. Often, these fences are not properly maintained or removed, which leads to them breaking down and contaminating the surrounding environment.

Ecofender™ Bio is made from a GM-free, plant-based biopolymer that is fully biodegradable in soil. It provides a sustainable solution with a much lower carbon footprint compared to other fencing options.

Features and Benefits:

  • Biodegradable: Made from a plant-based biopolymer, fully biodegradable in soil.

  • Wildlife Protection: Helps keep small animals, such as newts and frogs, away from hazardous areas.

  • Weather-Resistant: Suitable for use in various outdoor conditions.

  • Sustainable: A carbon-negative and climate-positive solution.

  • Simple Installation: Can be fixed to a timber post-and-rail fence, with the bottom edge entrenched to create an effective barrier.

  • Climb-Resistant: Smooth surfaces make it difficult for reptiles and amphibians to climb.
