Fully biodegradable agricultural mulch film

Fully biodegradable agricultural ground-cover mulch film meeting GB/T 35795-2017: no retrieval after use — plough directly into the field, decomposing naturally into water and carbon dioxide. Degradation can be tuned precisely to crop requirements, up to 6 months.

Cost check

Is no-recovery mulch actually cheaper per mu?

PE mulch needs retrieval, labor and residue risk; fully biodegradable mulch is tilled straight into the soil. How far apart are the two options on your fields? Let us run the numbers.

Materials

Materials and application formulations

Conventional plastic mulch film is extremely difficult to recover and breaks into microplastics that damage soil structure — more than 300,000 tonnes a year face the white-pollution dilemma. Green Free Plast blown-film mulch, made from PFM hydrophobic starch masterbatch, combines excellent mechanical performance with complete biodegradability, entering this high-frequency, essential agricultural consumables market directly. It drops into existing farm equipment without modification — strong, tear-resistant and able to withstand high-intensity tractor work, plug-and-play. Tested by the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the film's mechanical properties fully meet the national standard GB/T 35795-2017 for fully biodegradable agricultural ground-cover mulch film.

  1. Define the product

    Choose from fully biodegradable mulch film, seedling pots and agricultural twine; confirm crop, region, planting area and service period.

  2. Select the material and formulation

    Confirm the PFM grade around the crop cycle and field conditions; tune the degradation period as needed (1–6 months).

  3. Run process trials

    Blown-film production, laying and field observation: adjust process parameters from sample results.

  4. Confirm next steps

    After the sample is approved, review the tests, equipment, and next production steps.

Frequently asked questions

How is Green Free Plast mulch different from conventional plastic film and PLA film?

Conventional plastic film does not degrade and pollutes the soil; PLA film needs industrial composting above 50 °C and barely degrades in natural soil. Green Free Plast film field-decomposes in natural soil, and its specific gravity of only 1.07 (below PLA's 1.25) means the same weight covers more area, directly lowering cost per mu.

Can the degradation period be adjusted to the crop?

Yes. The degradation period is tuned precisely to crop growth: fully intact at 1 month, cracking at 2 months, decomposing at 3–4 months, up to 6 months — matching the growth cycles of different crops.

How can we trial our existing equipment?

Green Free Plast film is fully compatible with existing blown-film and mechanical laying equipment — no upgrade, plug-and-play. Share the equipment model, current material and product dimensions, and we will arrange a small batch trial before discussing production conditions.

Which standards does the product meet?

The product meets GB/T 35795-2017 for fully biodegradable agricultural ground-cover mulch film, with film mechanical properties verified by the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI); protected by multi-country patents, with DIN CERTCO and AS 4736/AS 5810 certification documents available.
