Reflective mulch films—such as silver or white plastic mulch—help repel pests like aphids and whiteflies by confusing them with reflected light. They also increase photosynthesis and can boost yields significantly
Biodegradable agricultural mulch films, certified under standards like EN 17033:2018, break down into CO₂, water, and biomass after use—eliminating removal and disposal hassle while enriching the soil
Moisture Retention & Temperature Control: Mulch films reduce water loss, stabilise soil temperature, and promote seedling growth
Weed & Pest Management: Black mulch suppresses weeds effectively; reflective and silver styles deter insect pests and virus spread
Improved Yields: Reflective metalised mulches can raise photosynthesis and yields by 25–90%, especially in straw beries and citrus crops
Eco-Friendly Performance: Biodegradable mulch films offer equivalent protection with reduced environmental impact and no need for cleanup after the season.
Black mulch film – excellent for weed control and warming the soil.
White & Silver reflective mulch film – enhances light exposure and pest resistance.
Clear mulch film – warms the soil and maximises sunlight penetration.
Biodegradable mulch film – an eco-conscious choice with certified compostable versions.
Multiple options: black & white plastic, reflective, biodegradable varieties
Strong performance: weed suppression, moisture retention, pest deterrence
Eco-conscious: Biodegradable films certified to degrade harmlessly
Flexible for different crops: tunnels, beds, greenhouse, open fields
Q: What makes reflective mulch effective?
Reflective mulches reflect UV light to confuse pests and enhance photosynthesis, improving growth and disease resistance
Q: Do biodegradable mulch films break down?
Yes—certified soil-biodegradable films are designed to be tilled into the soil and degrade into natural components within a specified timeframe
Q: Which type should I choose for weed control?
Black mulch is highly effective for suppressing weeds; reflective or clear films offer additional benefits like pest control or soil warming.
