| Scientific Evidence for Compost Filter Socks as a Stormwater Filtration Device.doc | ||
| Filtrexx is an innovative solution provider to erosion and sediment control. Our expanding toolbox of compost erosion control products includes the use of FilterMedia™ and Growing Media that is custom installed within mesh FilterSoxx™. The FilterSoxx™ allow for the loose organic products to be contained and provide many environmental benefits. Our products are used as silt fence alternatives, straw bale replacements or as a substitute for other BMP’s commonly used on construction sites. Filtrexx is the only company that has maintained a quality standard by Certifying the installers in the field as well as the products used in those applications. This process has allowed Filtrexx to make the claim of ‘The Certified Standard in Erosion Control’. |  |

When vegetated, Filtrexx products become successful streambank restoration devices, slope revegatation methods, and attractive landscape features. Filtrexx FilterSoxx™ technologies utilize nature's own systems in order to control erosion and improve stormwater quality. Because the composting process eliminates contaminents such as weed seed and pathogens, Filtrexx compost erosion control products are far more environmentally friendly than other synthetic materials (especially when used as a silt fence alternative) while remaining the most effective tool box available. | |
| Filtrexx FilterSoxx™ are commonly refered to as compost socks or mulch socks, however both terms can be misleading. Neither "traditional" garden compost nor mulch provide the same organic filtering benefits that Filtrexx requires of its specified FilterMedia™. Whether in applications as a silt fence alternative or providing natural streambank restoration, Filtrexx ensures the proper compost is used in the proper erosion application. |  |
