Compostable Mulch Film for Vegetable Production
For professional vegetable growers.
Built to carry the crop — not fail mid-season.
Save 2–3 weeks of labor. No removal.
Vegetable growers don’t take risks on mulch.
It has to hold.
Through planting, growth, harvest —
and everything in between.
Failure mid-season is not an option.
Tears. Breaks. Film lifting.
Yield loss. Rework. Stress.
That’s the real risk.
On what you’ve heard about compostable mulch:
A lot has changed over the past 8 years.
Our objective has always been the same:
to offer a compostable solution that can fully replace polyethylene.
It took time.
But today, we’ve reached that point.
What existed in the early days
and what is available today
are two very different products.
• The film is designed to perform through the crop cycle — not sit unused for multiple seasons
• Most tearing issues come from field conditions — debris, aggressive bed shaping, or installation tension
• Same reality as plastic — just slightly less forgiving
In normal vegetable production conditions,
the film holds through the crop cycle.
If your field runs well with plastic —
it will run with FilmOrganic.
You’re not choosing a mulch film.
You’re choosing whether your season holds.
And when the season is done:
No removal.
No plastic to handle.
No residue left behind.
Used in commercial vegetable fields across North America —
from small operations to large-scale farms.
Because it works.
And because it makes economic sense.
UNDERSTAND WHAT ACTUALLY DRIVES YOUR COST
Understand what actually drives your cost in the field:
▶ The Real Cost of Plastic Removal
Plastic removal isn’t a detail — it’s one of the most expensive operations on the farm.
Labor, equipment, handling, disposal — it adds up quickly.
Most growers underestimate this by 2–3× —
until they run the numbers.
▶ Fragmentation vs. Biodegradation
Plastic doesn’t disappear — it breaks into microplastics that stay in your soil.
Smaller doesn’t mean gone.
▶ Installation & End of Use
Installed like polyethylene.
At the end of the season, no removal — simply disk it in.
▶ Mulch Film Technology
Designed to perform through the crop cycle —
then break down after incorporation.
Vegetable production is not one-size-fits-all
Fast crops → short cycles
Tomatoes & peppers → full season
Vine crops → extended growth
Double cropping → up to 8 months
Every crop requires the right mulch durability window.

This is what happens when mulch is designed to perform — not just break apart.
No removal.
No plastic waste.
No microplastics left behind.
