Ecofender™ Bio - Biodegradable Newt Fence

Ecofender™ Bio Newt Fence

Ecofender™ Bio is the world’s first and only biodegradable, but highly durable, newt fencing. The plant based biopolymer sheet is used to temporarily exclude, or contain, newts, frogs, snakes and small wildlife - protecting them from entering hazardous areas such as construction sites.

It is an unfortunate reality that conventional plastic temporary newt fencing material can be a major contributor to micro plastics on construction sites. It is evident that on many sites temporary newt fences are not properly maintained or removed, leading to them crumbling and polluting the local environment.

Ecofender™ Bio is made from a GM free plant based biopolymer, which is fully soil biodegradable, offering the highest environmental credentials. Ecofender™ Bio is also a sustainable solution, with a significantly lower carbon footprint than competing products.

Ecofender™ Bio Newt Barrier sheets can be fixed to a simple post and rail timber fence, and the bottom edge entrenched to provide an impenetrable barrier. While the smooth surfaces are difficult for reptiles and amphibians to climb.

Ecofender™ Bio has specifically been designed to resist weather damage, providing protection throughout works, depending on conditions and the timescale of the project.
