Better Plastic For A Better Harvest
Radical Catalyst’s mulch film performs like conventional film – but naturally biodegrades in soil after the growing season.
Better Plastic For A Better Harvest
Radical Catalyst’s mulch film performs like conventional film – but naturally biodegrades in soil after the growing season.
Our mulch films contain a clay-like mineral additive, that when combined with traditional plastic, makes our films fully degradable with sufficient exposure to sunlight
Our natural, non-toxic catalyst allows us to tune life cycles of films for specific crop cycles. The resulting mulch film maintains peak performance properties until it is designed to start degradation. Our mulch films fully biodegrade in two stages, the first stage driven by sunlight and the second stage driven by the natural microbes in your soil.
We offer all the benefits of conventional mulch film, without any of the negatives:
-
Suppress weeds and retain moisture
-
Increase crop yields
-
Result in cleaner produce that can realize better market prices
-
Maintain temperature
With Radical Catalyst, you’re not just managing crops; you’re cultivating a sustainable future. Our films provide an eco-friendly solution that aligns with farmers’ operational needs and environmental commitments.
