Our biodegradable mulch film is manufactured from certified compostable polymer compounds and meets internationally recognised biodegradability standards: ASTM D6400 and EN13432. It delivers the same high-performance mulching benefits as conventional plastic film — weed suppression, moisture conservation, and soil temperature management — while addressing the growing need to reduce plastic waste in agriculture.

Biodegradable Mulch Film

Why Choose Biodegradable Mulch Film

  • Naturally Decomposes in Soil: Breaks down into CO₂, water, and organic matter after harvest — zero plastic residue left in the field
  • Fully Compostable: Certified to ASTM D6400 and EN13432 international compostability standards
  • High Mechanical Strength: Superior tensile strength compared to standard PE mulch film — resists tearing during installation
  • Eliminates Labour Costs: No manual film collection after harvest — a significant operational cost saving every season
  • Organic Farming Compatible: Suitable for certified organic and natural farming operations
  • Equivalent Mulching Performance: Same weed suppression, moisture retention, and soil temperature regulation as conventional PE film
  • Improves Soil Health: As the film decomposes, it contributes to soil organic matter and microbial activity

Biodegradable Mulch Film — Frequently Asked Questions

How long does biodegradable mulch film take to decompose in the soil?
Decomposition time depends on soil conditions, temperature, and microbial activity. Under typical Indian agricultural conditions, the film begins to break down 6–12 months after installation and is fully composted within one to two years after harvest.
Does biodegradable mulch film perform the same as plastic mulch film?
Yes. Biodegradable mulch film delivers equivalent weed suppression, moisture retention, and soil temperature management performance to conventional PE mulch film during the active crop period. Its mechanical strength is actually higher than standard PE film, making installation easier.
Is biodegradable mulch film more expensive than plastic mulch film?
The per-roll cost of biodegradable film is higher than standard PE film. However, the elimination of manual post-harvest collection and disposal labour significantly reduces total cost of use — often making it cost-neutral or cost-effective for high-value crop operations within 1–2 seasons.
Is biodegradable mulch film suitable for certified organic farming?
Yes. Our biodegradable mulch film is manufactured from compostable compounds and is suitable for use in certified organic farming operations. Please verify compatibility with your specific certification body’s requirements before use.
What international standards does your biodegradable mulch film meet?
Our biodegradable mulch film is manufactured to meet ASTM D6400 (USA standard) and EN13432 (European Union standard) compostability and biodegradability standards — internationally recognised benchmarks for compostable agricultural films.
