About

CIRCULAR BIOCARBON has developed a soil-biodegradable mulch film for melon cultivation using polymers recovered from the treatment of municipal organic waste and sewage sludge. The product demonstrates an agricultural application for materials recovered from urban waste streams.

The film is designed to protect soil and crops while replacing conventional fossil-based plastic mulch. Its use connects urban resource recovery with farming applications and supports a circular approach to agricultural materials.

Key benefits

  • Recovers nutrients & organic matter from urban waste
  • Replaces fossil-based plastic films
  • Supports circular & regenerative agriculture while interconnecting cities & farmers through sustainable, bio-based film solutions

Application

  • Melon cultivation
  • Agricultural mulch
