An erosion, sediment and pollution control product comprises a geotextile which includes cellulose based threads treated to be hydrophobic and cellulose based filler within the tubular geotextile. The geotextile may be knitted and may include lyocell threads and wherein the lyocell threads are treated to be hydrophobic, and are treated with food grade mineral oil. A method of making a tubular knitted geotextile comprises the steps of: supplying cellulose based threads to a circular knitting machine and knitting a tubular substrate, treating the cellulose based threads with one of mineral oil, beeswax, paraffin, petroleum jelly, lanolin, plant-based oils, and combinations thereof, whereby the threads are rendered hydrophobic.
A tubular geotextile including implementing hydrophobic cellulose based threads, wherein the cellulose based threads include lyocell threads and the geotextile is knitted, and wherein the lyocell threads are at least one of i) comprising a fiber length between 10 mm to 40 mm, ii) comprising single ply within the range of 3-1 to 12-1, iii) comprising double ply within the range of 6-2 to 24-2, and iv) comprising triple ply within the range of 9-3 to 36-3, and v) treated to be hydrophobic, and are treated with food grade mineral oil.
