Safer than metal staples for people and machines Works for over 18 months before biodegrading completely Our 4” (10cm) stakes have 45% more holding power than 6” (15cm) metal staples Completely biodegrades when the job is done No need return to site to remove – just let them biodegrade naturally Really tough and can penetrate the hardest ground Complies with ASTM D6400 and EN13432 Specified by governments, engineers, conservation bodies and DOTs

Degradable Stakes

Degradable plastics are oil based and break down through chemical reactions and not activity of micro-organisms. They degrade in an anaerobic environment into water. Degradable Stakes are NOT truly biodegradable.

‘If they are not ASTM D6400 Compliant, they are not truly biodegradable’
