TDPA™ technology can be seamlessly incorporated into mulch films and customized to suit various crops, growing climates, and desired product lifespans. After harvest, these TDPA™ mulch films can be ploughed into the soil, where they degrade and, upon complete biodegradation, transform into biomass, contributing to the natural bio-cycle.
TDPA™ mulch films are widely adopted in numerous countries, including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and China. They enable agricultural productivity to be maximized while maintaining environmental sustainability, offering a practical solution for eco-friendly farming practices.
Benefits of TDPA™ Mulch Films
- Retained Product Performance: TDPA™ mulch films can be deployed using the same agricultural machinery as conventional mulch films, delivering comparable performance in all key areas, including improved crop yield, effective weed control, and reduced reliance on herbicides and water.
- Ease of Manufacture: These films are produced using the same equipment and processes as conventional mulch films, ensuring a seamless transition for manufacturers without the need for new machinery or extensive retooling.
- Cost-Effective: With low addition rates typically between 1-3%, TDPA™ mulch films are a cost-efficient solution, requiring no specialized machinery or processing, making them an economically viable choice for agricultural use.
- Reduced Labour: After harvest, there is no need to collect or recycle the mulch film, saving significant time and effort for farmers, as the films degrade naturally.
- Degradable: TDPA™ mulch films are designed to biodegrade in the environment, breaking down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass, thus returning to nature and supporting a sustainable agricultural cycle.
