Compostable Mulch Film for Strawberry Production
For commercial strawberry systems.
Built for matted row, day-neutral, and winter-over systems.
Compostable mulch for matted row, day-neutral, and winter-over systems.
No plastic to remove in spring
No microplastic left in the soil
Saves 2–3 weeks of labor per season
Strawberry production has changed
Plastic mulch doesn’t disappear
In strawberries, removal often happens at the worst time — during harvest or right after.
That means:
Labor pulled away from picking
Wet, heavy plastic to handle
Fragments left behind in the soil
Polyethylene does not biodegrade.
It breaks up into microplastics that remain in your fields and can end up in the food chain.
Strawberries are a high-value crop.
Clean soil isn’t optional.
