Research abstract

Radical Plastics has developed a new technology to produce soil biodegradable plasticmulch films which solve current technologies' limitations while enabling farmers toincrease crop yields preserve water energy and fertilizers reduce labor and costs offarming. The films are having the most optimal physical and optical properties made onthe standard equipment (low capital entry drop-in replacement) affordable do not resultin microplastics reduce CO emissions versus current non-biodegradable alternatives requiring incineration can be made with biobased resins to satisfy organic farmingrequirements. The onset and rate of degradation are designed to match customers'requirements.
