Introduction Erosion-control blankets are not one-size-fits-all. On today’s jobsites, specifiers must weigh long-term durability against carbon targets, disposal fees, and emerging “plastic-free” procurement rules. Natural jute mesh erosion control blankets compete directly with synthetic polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) mats—and both camps have proven winners. Drawing on field data (including a 2025 Syracuse University

Whether you’re fabricating rebar, curing composites, or tending greenhouse heaters, you need a barrier that moves from storage bag to flame suppression in seconds. Fiberglass fire blankets fill that role: pliable, silica-rich textile shields proven across agriculture, construction, and
