Product overview
One field brief from sample to repeat supply
Distributors and growers need a roll specification they can carry into the field. Share the crop, equipment, site conditions and expected service cycle so samples can be compared consistently. Keep the approved construction, roll identification, storage and handling information together for subsequent orders.
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 PBAT+PLA 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. Four-year field trial data across climate zones backs the 65:35 formulation.
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
Not suitable for perennial crops or multi-year installations — biodegradation will begin within the first growing season. In arid soils (< 15% water holding capacity), biodegradation may be slower due to reduced microbial activity — plan for 12–18 month degradation timeline in very dry conditions. UV stabilizers deplete progressively — in high-UV environments (high altitude, equatorial), monitor film condition at month 4 and plan for potential mid-season degradation.

Product questions
Before your
first order
How does this film hold up in windy conditions?
The 65:35 PBAT/PLA formulation provides excellent tear propagation resistance — once laid and edge-buried, the film withstands wind gusts up to 60 km/h in field testing. Key to wind resistance is proper edge burial (10–15 cm depth) and adequate tension during laying. For extremely windy sites, we recommend 30μm+ gauge and closer planting hole spacing to reduce wind lift.
Can I use this with a transplanting machine that punches holes through the mulch?
Yes. The film is compatible with mechanical transplanters (water-wheel and punch-type) at 25μm and above. The PBAT component provides the tear resistance needed for clean punch holes without propagating tears. For transplanters with aggressive punch mechanisms, we recommend 30μm gauge. Holes punched at laying time remain stable through the season — we have not observed hole enlargement or tearing at punch sites in field trials.
What is the cost comparison to LDPE mulch on a per-hectare basis?
At 25μm gauge, 1.5m width, our biodegradable mulch costs approximately 35–40% more per hectare than LDPE mulch of equivalent dimensions. However, when factoring in LDPE removal and disposal costs (labor, transport, landfill/disposal fees estimated at 120–180 EUR/ha in Europe), the total cost of ownership for biodegradable mulch is approximately 5–10% higher — a premium most commercial growers find justified by the labor savings, sustainability benefits, and elimination of plastic waste liability.
What information is needed for a quote?
