Recommended product: FilmOrganic Black #66 or CoolWhite #66
• Remains intact for a full 6-month season
• Withstands harvest traffic and repeated field operations
• Eliminates end-of-season plastic removal
Result: full-season durability where other compostables fail.
SYSTEM 3 — SHORT-DAY / WINTER-OVER STRAWBERRIES
Recommended product: FilmOrganic Black #88 or CoolWhite #88
• Up to 15 months field durability
• Designed to be used in harmony with winter frost protection fabric
• No spring plastic removal — ever
Result: winter-over performance without polyethylene.
Why this changes everything
The value is not weed control.
It is weed elimination before weeds ever exist.
No weeds → no pulling → no regrowth
No plastic removal at the worst time of year
2–3 weeks of labor saved per season
No plastic fragments left in the soil
This is not a plastic substitute.
It is a different production technique.
Compostable vs polyethylene
Polyethylene and oxo-degradable films do not break down.
They fragment into microplastics that remain in the soil.
FilmOrganic mulch films break down completely, leaving no plastic residues behind.
Same equipment.
Same workflow.
No plastic legacy.
FilmOrganic — non-negotiable principles
We do not sell rolls.
We do not sell thickness.
We do not sell plastic substitutes.
We sell field-proven strawberry production systems that eliminate plastic cleanup.

Technical note — #88 Winter-over strawberries
For winter-over strawberry systems, Series #88 is designed to work in combination with a white frost protection fabric.
This fabric is installed to protect strawberry plants from winter conditions and also shields the mulch film from excessive UV and freeze-thaw stress, allowing Series #88 to reach its full durability potential of up to 15 months.
This is standard practice in professional strawberry production and ensures:
plant protection during dormancy
stable mulch performance through winter
no plastic removal in spring
A different way to grow strawberries
FilmOrganic mulch films are not designed to be removed.
They are designed to be part of the field.
When installed as part of a complete production system,
they eliminate plastic cleanup, reduce labor pressure,
and leave nothing behind in the soil.
No shortcuts.
No plastic fragments.
No spring surprises.
Just a cleaner field — and one less problem to manage.
