Compostable Mulch Film
Protect your crops, improve soil health, and eliminate removal labor costs.
Engineered from PLA, PBAT and corn starch, our compostable mulch film acts as a high-performance alternative to traditional plastic. It is designed to biodegrade completely after the growing season. They offer the same agronomic benefits—weed suppression, moisture retention, and temperature regulation—without the waste.
Features of Compostable Mulch Film
Certified Compostable
Fully compliant with ASTM D6400, EN 13432, AS 4736 and OK Compost standards.
Zero Waste
Breaks down into biomass, CO2 and water, leaving no toxic residue or microplastics behind.
Convenience
The film is easy to lay and does not flip over. After one round of cultivation is completed, there is no need to pick it up.
Benefits of Compostable Agriculture Film
- Heat Preservation: The soil is covered with plastic film to maintain thermal conditions, protect plants from frost damage, and promote the growth of plants.
- Moisture Retention: Reduces water evaporation to maintain consistent soil hydration for optimal plant growth.
- Weed Control: Blocks sunlight effectively to suppress weed growth, reducing the need for herbicides.
- Cost Efficiency: The membrane can be tilled directly into the soil, which eliminates the labor and disposal fees associated with traditional PE plastic mulch.

Frequently Asked Questions
The eco-friendly plastic film turns into organic matter without leaving toxic residue or microplastics. The resulting biomass helps enrich the soil structure, making it healthier for future planting cycles.
The film preserves heat and moisture, and inhibits the growth of weeds, creating the ideal environment for plants to thrive. On average, the mulch film can help increase yields by 10%.
Yes, but the lifespan of the film depends on the climate. High humidity and high temperatures accelerate the biodegradation process.
We offer different thickness options to suit your specific growing region—thicker films are recommended for hotter, wetter climates to ensure they last through the full growing season.
