The launch of industrial production of biodegradable mulching film will take place at the IMMER Ukrplastic plant in early 2018.

Biodegradable mulching film of IMMER Group can be successfully employed in organic and traditional agriculture for growing vegetable and grain crops.The biodegradable film is 100% degradable. The tests showed no visible traces of the film in the soil after 6 months from the laying day. According to producers, biodegradable mulching film improves crop yields, preventing rapid evaporation of moisture from the soil and improving the microclimate in the planting zone, which is critically important in the context of the global change of agro-climatic resources. In organic farming IMMER Group’s biodegradable film allows increasing crop yields without using chemical crop protection agents and protects seeds from birds. Agrarians can save their resources on collection and utilization of non-degradable mulching film in the production process. 

“Our biodegradable mulching film is an ecofriendly solution that boosts crops and ensures better development of agricultural plants. We are sure that our product will make significant contribution to the sustainable development of our agricultural production,” said the president of IMMER Group Irina Mirochnik.
The physical parameters, the film thickness and the rolls width are selected individually, depending on the crop and other conditions.
