Radical Mulch Films

Radical Mulch Films are Radical Plastics’ newest advancement in agricultural sustainability. They operate like conventional polyethylene mulch films during their lifespan but have the unique ability to undergo industrially designed biodegradation. These biodegradable plastics transform into something microbes can metabolize after being left in the environment. This mulch film biodegrades fully without retaining toxic residues, microplastics, or long-term waste. 

Radical Plastics has developed these films to offer both professional grade performance and eco-conscious waste solutions to agriculture businesses.

How It Works  

Unlike other bioplastics, Radical Mulch Films are designed to first retain professionalism and then biodegrade. Here’s how the process works:  

Step 1: Application  

Just like plastic mulch, agricultural machinery can be used to effortlessly lay the mulch film. Radical Mulch Films does not require new equipment or training.  

Step 2: Field Use  

As with any growing season, the film delivers the expected advantages of plastic mulch: moisture retention, weed control, soil temperature elevation, and increased crop yield.  

Step 3: Environmental Exposure  

If the film is left in the field or tilled under, the oxygen and sunlight will catalyze the radical in the plastic.

Step 4: Changing Molecules  

  The catalyst modifies the polymer chains and transforms the material into a form of substance with a low molecular weight that can be digested by microbes.  

Step 5: Plastic Biodegradation  

The transformed plastic is consumed by naturally occurring microbes within the soil, which in turn transforms it to carbon dioxide, water and biomass while not leaving any microplastics behind.  

Biometric Features and Advantages  

• Functions Just Like Regular Plastic Like It Is Strong and Durable - It can withstand rigging pruning and burning as well as standard mulch equipment without damage.  

• After the Intended Use Free Radical Catalyst Technology Leaves True Biodegradation Space – true biodegradation begins only after use.  

• No Toxic Residues – No harmful remains to be soil, plants or animals, hence no residues to the environment.  
  
• Microplastic-Free – Does not break into pieces, but breaks down completely.  
  
• Does Not Require Active Care From Farmers – Ends with the farmer and starts with non-removal, non-disposal, and contribution to the landfill with waste.  
  
• Support Soil Heath – Water, CO2 and Biomass are what the land requires.  

• Meets The Biodegradability Criteria of EN 17033 and ASTM D5988 – The product is reliable and supported.  

• Best for Modern Agriculture - Best vegetable farmers, berry and fruit growers, vineyards and the likes.  

Applications  

• Row Crop and Vegetable Farming  
• Organic and Regenerative Agriculture  
• Agri-tech Demonstration Purpose Projects  
• Vineyards and Orchards  
• Field Trials and Research Plots for Sustainability  

Radical Mulch Films are designed for conventional and organic operations aimed at minimizing plastic usage and streamlining post-season cleaning.

Recommendation

Radical Mulch Films give farmers a smarter way to cultivate crops by providing desired plastic mulch benefits while guaranteeing that the remnants left behind can fully decompose safely into nature. This innovative approach to sustainable agriculture is backed by science and offers utmost ease to its users.  

Elimination of plastic pollution, costly removal expenses and minimum required maintenance achieves maximum results. Trustworthy outcomes instantaneously prepare the soil for the upcoming season.
