Geofabrics are the only geosynthetic manufacturer in Australia. Local manufacturing allows us to have more control over decisions that affect the environment. We can control our own systems, own energy sources and how we manage the waste we produce. Local production also reduces the environmental impact of transportation, compared to imported products.
Below is an outline of our carbon reduction opportunities and initiatives at our manufacturing sites. Download the brochure to learn more.
Not only do we employ more than 100 locals, we return more than $10 million per annum into the regional communities in which we operate through regional suppliers and regional industries.
