Turf Reinforcement Materials (TRM's) are a soft armouring solution that provides permanent erosion control and turf reinforcement on high stress areas along drainage channels, shorelines and severe slopes.
The three dimensional netting structure works with vegetation by reinforcing the root system thereby providing a long term, cost effective and aesthetically pleasing alternative to rip-rap, gabions and concrete.
Recyclex TRM's
The first permanent turf reinforcement mat (TRM) with fibers made from 100% recycled post-consumer goods - "green or brown bottles". That is right, there are approximately 20 bottles in every pound of Recyclex TRMs. American Excelsior Company invented the first biodegradable blanket, Curlex®,and we have done the same with recycled fibers to create Recyclex. Not only is Recyclex environmentally responsible, it is designed to meet your most difficult erosion control challenges. For long-term permanent erosion control, Recyclex is the answer.
Recyclex is made with fibers dirived from 100% post-consumer recycled materials with 80% or more 5 inches in length or greater. The fibers are crimped to allow a strong, curled, interlocking fiber matrix. Sound familiar to Curlex excelsior fibers? Absolutely! Just as Curlex fibers have been the most successful biodegradable matrix since we invented erosion control blankets, we applied the same concept to our permanent Recyclex TRM. Our crimped fibers conform to terrain details and train water flow to follow the Recyclex curled fiber matrix. In turn, water flow velocity is reduced.
Recyclex fibers have a specific gravity of greater than one, meaning the matrix will not float in a hydraulic event. Recyclex fibers are stitched together by two strong layers of UV resistant polypropylene netting to form a three dimensional matrix that is designed to provide permanent surface support for vegetation and structural root systems. Recyclex can be installed as an erosion control blanket by placing it over grass seed and topsoil or it can be soil filled and seeded to allow a structural root system to grow directly into the permanent turf reinforcement matting. Recyclex is available in aesthetically pleasing green or earth tone brown.

Recyclex TRM-V
Recyclex TRM-V was manufactured out of the same recycled materials as the Recyclex but was engineered to provide a solution for low to medium flow channels an d slopes that require permanent vegetation reinforcement. Recyclex TRM-V retains many of the same great properties of Recyclex TRM.

Curlex Enforcer
1.25 lb/yd2 product with naturally seed free Great Lakes Aspen Excelsior Fibers designed to provide a fiber service life of ≤36 months, but the remaining components of the product are permanent. It is bound by two layers of extra heavy-duty black UV stabilized netting to provide permanent reinforcement between established vegetation and root systems in channel bottoms or on slopes.
Curlex Enforcer is a biocomposite turf reinforcement mat (TRM).
