WELCOME TO ADVANCE
A natural fibre geotextile range of hemp and dag wool products, FuturFiber® is BioGro Certified for organic inputs, and is certified with a Global GreenTag EPD.
Sourced locally from New Zealand farmers, FuturFiber has been BioGro certified for organic inputs and, in a New Zealand first has achieved an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), giving specifiers, partners and regulators confidence when specifying our products.
With hemp and dag wool products innovatively designed for use across commercial and residential applications, these 100% biodegradable options for weed suppression and erosion control also provide moisture retention, temperature moderation and nutrient release benefits to plants throughout their establishment stage.

As strong advocates of green landscaping and environmental preservation, Advance are proactive in designing innovative and environmentally-friendly products and solutions that address genuine environmental problems.
Partnering with Rubsico to use their materials in the development of the FuturFiber Hemp and Wool range was a value-synergised venture to provide end users with a proven environmentally friendly natural fibre geotextile solution for erosion control and weed suppression. Rubisco’s story resonated with Advance’s vision and values, where innovation and nature unite in perfect harmony.
Rooted in nature’s regenerative cycles, Rubisco transform natural fibers into revolutionary materials. From regenerative agriculture to innovative design, these natural materials work in perfect harmony with the earth, offering high-performing solutions directed towards a more regenerative, bio-circular world, where materials not only serve a purpose but return to the earth safely.
Using Rubisco’s locally sourced hemp and dag wool fibre, Advance developed the trade-marked FuturFiber product range of natural fibre geotextiles, as an economical, sustainable, and effective solution to erosion control, weed suppression and plant establishment support.
Advance Landscape Systems’ consultants work with licensed engineers and architects offering comprehensive support throughout the design and specifying process.
Specifier tools and resources for use by specifiers, including landscape architects, designers, civil engineers and contractors are available via the Knowledge Hub.
With a wide range of climate and topography in NZ, we provide tailored recommendations where required to meet client’s specific needs and objectives.
Developed through more than two years of testing and product validation, FuturFiber® is now the first natural fibre erosion control and weed suppression matting product in New Zealand to hold a GreenTag EPD.
“Achieving New Zealand’s first Global GreenTag EPD for our hemp–wool geotextiles is more than a milestone—it shows that regenerative natural fibres can deliver world-class performance and sustainability across infrastructure, horticulture, landscaping, and beyond. At Rubisco, we see this as part of a broader shift: moving global industries towards materials that restore ecosystems while building a better future.”
– Guy Wills, CEO Rubisco.
Absolutely! While Fiberguards are biodegradable, many people choose to recycle them if they’re no longer needed before the biodegrading process begins. They can be donated to an organisation or individual who can use them to protect native plants, or placed in a cardboard recycling bin for proper disposal.
Thanks to their biodegradable properties, Fiberguards are designed to last between 12 to 24 months. However, in areas with strong winds or wet conditions, the breakdown process can be accelerated.
And yes, Fiberguards are proven to protect against rabbits. Please note that while both the 300mm and 450mm sizes offer protection from rabbits, only the 450mm height will also guard against hares.
