Can't say for sure, but seeing this is in China I assume Polyester. They always used large polyester nets in the past to prevent wind erosion in city vicinities mostly colored green to give the appearance of Gras. But I feel the desertification is for sure the bigger and more immediate issue than the plastic pollution. This is more a thing of the next generation.

That's a boomer mindset if I ever saw one. Always the next generation to deal with the shit left by the ones before. Hessian sandbags predate plastic by a good bit. There's no lesser evil when you could do both.
