Compostable Agricultural Films for Professional Growers

Mulch systems engineered for real field conditions —
no plastic to remove after harvest.

Designed to biodegrade in soil, not fragment into microplastics.

For vegetables, berries, melons — and tree-planting systems.

The Real Cost of Polyethylene Plastic Mulch

Most growers first compare mulch by price per roll.
But polyethylene mulch is not a one-season decision.

After harvest, it must be lifted, shaken, rolled, loaded and hauled to landfill.
On a mid-size vegetable farm, this cleanup can take 2–3 weeks of labor every season.

And even after removal, polyethylene does not biodegrade.
It slowly fragments into microplastics that remain in the soil.

In Annual Crops

Vegetable farms remove polyethylene mulch every season.

The plastic must be lifted, shaken to remove soil, rolled, loaded and transported to landfill.

Even after removal, fragments remain in the soil profile.

In Orchards & Tree Systems

Polyethylene ground covers and woven landscape fabrics are rarely compatible with long-term perennial plantings.

Once trees establish and root systems expand, removing buried plastic becomes extremely difficult without disturbing the soil profile.

For this reason, many foresters and orchard managers avoid polyethylene entirely in long-term planting systems.

Ground covers may be installed for early weed suppression, but plastic left in place gradually breaks into fragments.

The material may disappear from view.

But the plastic remains in the soil.

BUILT FOR REAL CROP CYCLES

Not all biodegradable mulch is the same.

FilmOrganic systems are engineered with controlled field lifespans, designed to perform through the crop cycle before biodegrading in soil.

Engineered durability first.
Then biodegradation.

Designed for real agricultural systems:

• Short-season vegetable crops
• Full strawberry production cycles
• Multi-year orchard systems
• Long-term tree and perennial protection

INSIGHTS
Understanding the real impact of plastic mulch in agriculture.

Plastic mulch affects much more than installation.

• Removal labor at the end of the season • Equipment and disposal costs • Plastic fragments left in the soil
