Product overview
Build the roll around the vegetable bed
A vegetable-bed film must work with the planting pattern, irrigation and laying equipment. Provide those inputs along with the anticipated season and local climate. Review handling and field performance on a representative trial, then agree the finished roll and use instructions with the relevant product documentation.
Soil-biodegradable mulch film for crop and field programs. Build the specification around bed geometry, crop cycle, climate, laying equipment and the required period of field performance.

Applications
Find your
working context
Choose the relevant operation and share its practical requirements with your inquiry.
01
Vegetable row crops
Select the vegetable-bed mulch film around the crop, raised-bed width and planting layout. Share climate, soil, irrigation and season length for a relevant sample and field-trial plan.
02
Greenhouses & tunnels
Coordinate film width, gauge and laying method with the protected-crop system. Review the intended growing cycle and local conditions rather than transferring settings from a different field.
03
Fruit & berry production
Review the mulch with the bed shape, plant spacing, irrigation and crop-care routine. Check the proposed construction through a representative field trial and the relevant soil-use documentation.
04
Agricultural distribution
Build an identifiable roll program for growers and dealers. Agree width, usable length, gauge, colour, core, packing and handling instructions with the selected crop and region.
Certifications & product documents
The file behind
the finished format
Keep the specification, applicable certification and intended-use information connected to the product you order.
EN 17033 — Soil Biodegradation
The European standard written for biodegradable mulch films: 90%+ biodegradation in soil within 24 months, ecotoxicity testing, and no-harmful-residue limits. Greenhouse trials confirm the 60:40 formulation meets these limits.
TÜV Austria OK Biodegradable SOIL
Independent TÜV certification confirming real-soil biodegradation with no ecotoxic effects — audited annually, certificate verifiable on the public TÜV database.
EN 13432 — Industrial Compostability
Verifies the film also breaks down in managed composting facilities, so film fragments removed with plant residues can be composted rather than landfilled.
Soil-biodegradation records
Use records for the exact agricultural mulch and intended soil environment, rather than substituting packaging-compostability documents.

Use, handling & storage notes
Clear film provides minimal weed suppression — for greenhouse applications with weed pressure, use opaque variants. At 12μm gauge, film integrity in greenhouse conditions is limited to 2–3 months — appropriate only for short-cycle crops (salad greens, radishes). The PLA-rich formulation has lower tear resistance than PBAT-rich films — handle carefully during mechanical laying at temperatures below 15°C.

Product questions
Before your
first order
Won't the film degrade too fast in a hot greenhouse?
Gauge selection is critical for greenhouse use. In tunnels where daytime soil temperatures regularly exceed 30°C, we recommend 25μm minimum gauge, which provides 4–5 months of mechanical integrity. For crops with 6+ month greenhouse cycles, we offer a 30μm custom gauge. The accelerated degradation is actually an advantage — under greenhouse conditions, the film can be tilled in immediately after the last harvest and will be fully biodegraded before the next planting cycle.
Does the clear film provide any weed suppression?
Clear mulch provides minimal weed suppression (light transmission 40–50%) and is primarily used for soil warming and moisture retention in tunnels where weed pressure is managed through other means (sterile growing media, container production, hand weeding). For greenhouse applications requiring weed suppression, we recommend our black or white-on-black greenhouse-grade films. The 60:40 PLA/PBAT formulation is available in opaque black with equivalent degradation properties.
Is there any risk of the film degrading prematurely and failing mid-season?
Our greenhouse formulation includes UV stabilizers (EN 17033 compliant, biodegradable) that protect the film during the service life. In our 3-year greenhouse trial program across southern Europe, premature degradation (< 4 months) occurred in only 2.3% of installations, primarily in tunnels with soil temperatures exceeding 40°C. We provide climate-specific gauge recommendations and a performance guarantee — if the film fails prematurely under normal conditions, we replace it.
