Recycled Silt Sock

Mesh from Landfill Waste – Temporary fence PVC banner mesh or ‘gawk screen’ is a common sight on many civil construction projects. Unfortunately it is not recyclable, and at the end of the project or if damaged, banner mesh is usually destined for landfill. At Stratex we repurpose this waste mesh to make recycled silt sock sleeves. Recycled and Superior – Traditionally, silt socks are filled with large diameter gravel or rocks. However, our recycled silt socks take sustainability one step further by using reclaimed aggregate as filling material. Using recycled aggregate produces less dust than alternatives such as scoria and disrupts the landfill waste stream. Hydrocarbon Filter Available – The Recycled Silt Sock is also available with an additional hydrocarbon filter to absorb oil hydrocarbon sheen from road surfaces. This is achieved with a layer of Spilltration Husky material sewn into the sleeve. The material absorbs the hydrocarbon oily sheen while allowing water to flow through. Spilltration Husky material is made from 100% recycled post consumer waste. Repurpose with Purpose – Stratex recycled silt socks are made in Australia, with the help of a local social enterprise, Assembled Threads. This partnership not only ensures high quality products but also provides meaningful employment for individuals from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds.
