Fully Compostable Mulch Film – Grow Greener, Leave No Trace

Our mulch film is produced through blown film extrusion using bamboo bio-granule  materials and eco-friendly additives. Complying with China national standard Europe EN biodegradable standard and America ASTM compostable standard, it is designed for agricultural soil covering and fully biodegrades into CO₂ and water through microbial activity, leaving no microplastic pollution, even compostable.

Compostable Mulch Film –

Bamboo bio-granule Soil Protection

Our black or white compostable mulch is made from natural bamboo powder and bamboo bio-granule technology. Like plastic film, it regulates soil temperature, suppresses weeds, and retains moisture—but decomposes completely into water, carbon dioxide, and nutrient-rich biomass within 175 days. No removal, no landfill, no microplastics. Bamboo oil naturally promotes plant growth.


As a leading China-based compostable mulch film manufacturer and wholesale supplier, ZSS helps global agricultural distributors, large-scale farms and eco-conscious brands replace conventional plastic mulch with high-performance, truly biodegradable alternatives.

Compostable Mulch Film –  Bamboo Bio-Granule Soil Protection

Full Biodegradation Process – 5 Stages in 175 Days

Our bamboo bio-granule compostable mulch film is designed to fully biodegrade in soil through microbial activity, returning to CO₂, water, and biomass without leaving microplastics.

5-Stage Degradation Timeline (Typical vegetable crop cycle: 120–175 days):

Induction Period (0–30 days)
Film remains fully intact and functional
Cracking Period (20–60 days)
Small cracks appear on the surface
Large Cracking Period (60–100 days)
Larger cracks and holes form
Fragment Period (100–150 days)
Film breaks into small pieces, easily incorporated by tillage
No-Film Period (150–175+ days)
Complete biodegradation、No visible residues
no data

Note: Actual timing varies by soil temperature, humidity, microbial activity, and local climate. We recommend field trials and offer custom formulations to match your growing season. In cooler/dry conditions, degradation may be slower.

 Medicinal Herbs  700㎡  0.5 – 0.8 silk    4.0 – 5.5 kg  60 days / 90 days / 120 days / 150 day

Usage Notes

  • 1 silk = 0.01mm (standard thickness unit).
  • Greenhouse vegetables usually use thinner film (0.5–0.8 silk) due to higher temperatures and smaller area, which helps reduce cost.
  • Induction Period = The period during which the mulch film remains almost fully intact and performs at maximum efficiency (weed control, moisture retention, and soil temperature regulation). After this period, the cracking stage begins.
  • Total degradation time is usually Induction Period + 90–120 days.
  • We can customize the induction period according to your local climate, soil temperature, and specific crop growth cycle.
  • Recommendation: For the first use, we strongly suggest conducting a small-scale trial on your farm to verify the actual degradation performance under your local conditions.

FAQ

1
Does it really fully degrade in 175 days under natural field conditions?
Yes. In typical agricultural soil environments (moderate temperature and humidity), our Bamboo Bio-granule formula achieves complete biodegradation within 175 days, verified by third-party lab testing.
2
Is this mulch film suitable for organic farming?

Yes. It meets requirements equivalent to organic standards (no synthetic persistent chemicals) and adds biodegradable organic matter back to the soil after degradation.

3
What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale/export?
Standard MOQ is 1 ton (≈20–25 rolls depending on spec). We offer flexible terms for distributors and large buyers.
4
What certifications does the film have?
Our film meets international standards including EN 17033 (European biodegradable mulch), ASTM D6400 / D7081 (USA), and relevant Chinese GB standards. It is suitable for organic farming and complies with strict environmental regulations in the EU, USA, and many other countries.
5
What is ZSS bamboo-based compostable mulch film made of?
It is made from renewable bamboo bio-granules combined with food-grade biodegradable polymers. It is fully bio-based and designed to completely biodegrade in soil without leaving microplastics.

Do I need to remove the film after harvest?
No. The biggest advantage is that you can till the film directly into the soil after the growing season. This saves significant labor and disposal costs.
7
What are the MOQ and payment terms?
Standard MOQ is 1 ton. We offer flexible MOQ for regular distributors and large agricultural bases. Payment terms: T/T, L/C, or other methods negotiable. Please contact us for detailed quotation.
8
How should the film be stored and handled?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use within 12 months for best performance. It is suitable for both manual and mechanical laying.
9
What support do you offer to distributors and large projects?
We provide technical data sheets, marketing materials, training support, joint field trials, customized branding (OEM/ODM), and long-term supply agreements with competitive pricing.
