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.

Nortiva’s Coir Products for the Canadian Market

At Nortiva Global Inc., we provide premium-grade coir products designed for Canadian erosion control needs.

✔ Coir Erosion Control Blankets (400gsm, 700gsm, 900gsm)

Ideal for:
  • Highway and roadside stabilization
  • Large-scale landscaping
  • Riverbank reinforcement
  • Slope protection and reclamation

✔ Coir Logs for Shoreline & Streambank Protection

Widely used for:
  • Waterway restoration
  • Wetland projects

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.
