Eco-Friendly, High-Performing and Tailored for Canadian Landscapes
In Canada, project managers and environmental contractors are increasingly moving away from synthetic materials for erosion control, opting instead for natural solutions that offer superior performance and environmental protection. At Nortiva Global Inc., we specialize in 100% biodegradable coir products that adhere to modern sustainability standards while providing reliable, long-term erosion protection.
If you're looking for erosion control products or natural shoreline restoration materials within Canada, read on to see why coir should be your product of choice - more robust, effective and environmentally friendly.
What Is Coir? Why It Matters for Erosion Control
Coir is a natural fiber derived from coconut husk. It has become a highly effective material for erosion and sediment control, landscaping, reclamation, and shoreline stabilization.
Key Benefits of Coir for Erosion Control
100% biodegradable — no plastic, no microplastics
High tensile strength — ideal for slopes and waterways
Long lifespan (2 – 4 years) — sufficient time for vegetation to establish
Excellent moisture retention — enhances seed germination
Wildlife-safe — no plastic netting to trap animals
Supports native vegetation — roots quickly anchor into the fiber matrix
Coir excels in Canadian climates — from dry prairie slopes to wet coastal and riverbank areas.

Why Choose Nortiva for Erosion Control in Canada?
1. 100% Natural, No Synthetics
Many erosion-control mats contain plastic mesh or nylon filaments, which leave behind microplastics that damage soil health and ecosystems. Nortiva's products contain zero nylon and use cotton-spun coir fiber for optimal sustainability.
2. Designed for Canadian Conditions
Our coir blankets and logs are built to withstand:
Freeze–thaw cycles
Heavy runoff
High winds
Fluctuating water levels
3. Meets Government & Environmental Standards
Nortiva's products support:
Green procurement standards
Eco-friendly land reclamation requirements
Federal and provincial sustainability guidelines
4. Competitive Pricing & Reliable Canadian Stock
We supply bulk coir blankets and logs across Alberta, BC, Ontario, and beyond, with fast shipping and reliable inventory.
Top Applications of Coir in Canada
✔ Riverbank & Streambank Restoration
Coir logs and blankets stabilize banks while vegetation establishes.
✔ Mining & Industrial Reclamation
Ideal for large disturbed areas requiring long-term stabilization.
✔ Highway & Roadside Erosion Control
700gsm and 900gsm coir blankets offer superior slope protection.
✔ Construction & Land Development
A natural barrier to soil loss and sediment runoff.
Why Coir Outperforms Synthetic Erosion-Control Products
Many erosion-control products in Canada still use:
Nylon netting
Polypropylene mesh
Plastic reinforcement filament
These materials do not decompose and eventually cause:
Long-term soil contamination
Microplastics in waterways
Wildlife entanglement risks
Coir completely eliminates these issues. It decomposes into nutrient-rich organic matter, enhancing the environment.
