Black & White Plastic Mulch Film – Reflective & Biodegradable Options

What Is Reflective & Biodegradable Mulch Film?

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

Benefits of Our Mulch Films
