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.
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):
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.

Technical Comparison of Sustainable Agricultural Mulch Films
| No. | Product Type | Primary Materials | Relative Density | Degradation Period | Gas Permeability | Environmental Impact | Value Assessment |
| 1 | Calcium-based Biodegradable Film | CaCO₃ / PBAT / PLA | 1.38 | Controllable (Low Weatherability) | Controllable (Poor weather resistance) | Partial degradation; residual CaCO₃ mineralizes in soil |
Cost-effective; may cause soil hardening with long-term use |
| 2 | Starch-based Biodegradable Film | Starch, PBAT, PLA | 1.32 | Controllable (Good Weatherability) | Controllable (Good weather resistance) | Fully biodegradable; zero chemical residue | Premium quality; impact on food security considerations |
| 3 | Bamboo Bio-granule Biodegradation Mulch Film |
Bamboo Bio-granule, Biodegradable Materials |
0.93 | Controllable (Excellent Weatherability) | Controllable (Excellent weather resistance) | Fully biodegradable; enriches soil with organic nutrients | Recommended; sustainable & eco-friendly (high cost-reduction potential) |
| 4 | Starch-based Conventional Film | Starch, PE | 1.03 | Incomplete (Fragmentation only) | Controllable (Good weather resistance) | Partial starch degradation; microplastic (PE) residue | Budget-friendly; moderate environmental legacy |
| 5 | Calcium-based Conventional Film | CaCO₃ / PE | 1.22 | Incomplete (Fragmentation only) | Controllable (Poor weather resistance) | Non-degradable; high mineral & plastic residue | Low-cost; high environmental impact |

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.
