Switching to biodegradable mulch film isn't just good for the planet — it can save you valuable time and cut down on farm waste.
Traditional plastic mulch film creates a tough problem: after harvest, it needs to be collected, disposed of, and often ends up buried or burned. This adds labour, cost, and environmental harm.
Australian Bio Plastics offers biodegradable mulch films made from Mater-Bi™, a bioplastic that meets rigorous Australian and international standards (AS4736-2006, UNI EN 13432). These films work just like traditional plastic — you can use your existing machinery — but here's the difference: at the end of the crop cycle, the film biodegrades into organic matter, water, and carbon dioxide.
Farmers using our biofilm report significant savings in time and disposal costs because there's no need for collection or landfill fees. Plus, the film's breathable nature reduces condensation, protecting seedlings better than conventional plastic.
Choosing biodegradable mulch film means less waste, less labour, and a healthier soil environment. It's a practical, eco-friendly choice that fits modern farming needs.
Are you ready to reduce waste and save time on your farm with Australian-made biodegradable films? Let's make sustainable farming the new standard together.
