WATERMELON

Watermelon production is highly competitive.

Labor savings drove the adoption of oxo-degradable films — but the long-term cost eventually shows up in the soil.

Proven in large commercial watermelon operations.

What looks like labor savings with oxo-degradable films ends up as plastic contamination — in hay, soil, and feed.

Break up is not break down.

Break up VS Break down

Not all mulch films behave the same in soil.

POLYETHYLENE MULCH 

  • Does not biodegrade
  • Breaks up during removal
  • Fragments into microplastics
  • Microplastics remain in the soil

FILMORGANIC COMPOSTABLE MULCH

  • Breaks down in the soil after the season
  • No removal required
  • No microplastics
  • 0% polyethylene 
  • Breaks down into water, CO₂ and biomass - no fragments, no residues

OXO-DEGRADABLE MULCH

  • Designed to fragment faster
  • Fragmentation is not biodegradation
  • Breaks into microplastics
  • Microplastics remain in the soil

Plastic shouldn’t be something you worry about.

FilmOrganic compostable mulch breaks down in soil — not into fragments you’ll deal with later.
