Situation

Traditional poly mulch films used in agriculture must be removed from the fields after harvest, leading to increased cost and waste. Growers desired a Made in the USA product that was 100% soil biodegradable.

Solution

Houston Poly partnered with Minneapolis-based Organix Solutions to develop the only 100% soil biodegradable mulch film, made in the United States, that achieved the TUV OK-Soil certification for the finished product.

Results

1. By not having to remove the mulch film, growers save labor and disposal costs.
2. The mulch film completely degrades without leaving harmful chemicals and toxins, maintaining land quality for the next planting.
