Why Bio?
For years, metal staples have been the item choice for contractors due mainly due to their price point and lack of any other quality options available. It's long been their staple item (pun intended).
Ecoturf Biodegradable stakes are a game changer, offering a safer, eco-friendly option that holds stronger than metal staples.
ECO-FRIENDLY
Metal staples will remain in the ground for decades before they rust away. Besides contamination, the remants of these staples are often left exposed for feet and lawn equipment. Ecoturf Biodegradable stakes provide an option to contractors that will perform and end up as all-natural by-products, leaving the land as you found it.

SAFETY
Imagine kids running through a park in their bare feet - over a jobsite that your company or contractor completed not so long ago. Metal staples are cheap, commodity items that if dropped or mis-installed are disregarded many times. They're cheap; so losing a dozen or so for each blanket being installed is no big deal - until little Suzy steps on one or a lawn mower catches one and sent flying. Eliminate these potential hazardous situations by choosing Ecoturf Biodegradable Stakes
Strong. Safe. Eco-friendly.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
There are tens of thousands of contractors performing jobs across the country. If each one is dependent largely upon price, it winds up being a competition on who can cut corners and take in the least amount of money. Separate yourself from the competition by offering a premium option - stressing the eco-friendly and safety factors as selling points.
Why Choose Ecoturf Ecoduty Stakes vs. Greenstake?
Ecoduty stakes are engineered and third-party tested to actually break down and biodegrade in the natural environment. Other "biodegradable" stakes, including Greenstake, are classified to biodegrade under ASTM Standard D6400. This means they are designed to biodegrade in a composting facility, which has a harsh environment that can reach temperatures of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. This also means that these stakes WILL NOT biodegrade according to the standards they claim to be their basis for biodegradability in the natural environment.
Ecoturf Ecoduty Stakes have been third-party tested, following ASTM D6954, requiring oxygen to break down and biodegrade. Testing has shown a biodegradability of 96.7% in test results. How does this compare as a percentage? Grass is 99% biodegradable. The threshold to make biodegradable claims is typically 90%, depending on the state or country's definition. You can count on Ecoduty stakes to not only perform in the field but to biodegrade in the environment in which they are installed.
