ECO-MSE Bags for Flood Defences

Applications in Rivers, Canals, and Lochs

ECO-MSE bags are an environmental agency-approved solution for flood defence, designed to provide robust protection while being eco-friendly. These non-plastic, non-toxic bags support natural plant and vegetation growth, ensuring they do not contaminate surrounding water bodies or ecosystems. Their durable construction guarantees a lifespan of over 100 years, making them a sustainable choice for long-term flood defence projects.
