17 June 2009 – TenCate™ Geosynthetics introduces Mirafi® MiraGreen™ D for site drainage applications for engineers and architects committed to designing environmentally sound projects. Mirafi® MiraGreen™ D is a nonwoven drainage geotextile comprised of 30% (LEED calculated) recycled content. TenCate™ has developed, through extensive research, a uniquely reliable product that reduces dependence on virgin petroleum based resins.
Mirafi® MiraGreen™ D recycled drainage geotextiles are used in a wide variety of drainage applications. Lightweight nonwovens are predominantly used for subsurface drainage applications along highways, green roofs, athletic fields, and within embankments under airfields. For these drainage structures to be effective, they must have a properly designed protective filter. Mirafi® MiraGreen™ D recycled nonwoven geotextiles eliminate the problems of determining the aggregate gradation required to match soil conditions, finding a convenient and economical source of a specific aggregate gradation, transporting and placing graded aggregate, and assuring that the inplace aggregate gradation provides effective filter performance.
Mirafi® MiraGreen™ recycled nonwoven geotextiles contribute towards earning credits for three key categories in LEED-NC: Sustainable Sites; Materials & Resources; and Innovation & Design Process. LEED-NC (Leadership in Energy and Environmental for New Construction) Green Building Rating System is a nationally accepted green building standard. Mirafi® MiraGreen™ recycled nonwoven geotextiles strive to improve the quality of new construction projects while positively impacting our environment.

TenCate™ Geosynthetics North America develops and produces materials that increase performance, reduce costs and enable people to achieve what was once unachievable.
