Switch from polyethylene (PE) mulch to a soil-friendly alternative made from plants for plants. Ukhi manufactures and distributes compostable mulch films formulated from our next-generation EcoGran™ high-shelf-life blown film extrusion biopolymer resin (EGBF – ML). Our mulch films suppress weeds and conserve moisture like traditional plastic films but break down within four to six months without leaving behind micro or nano plastics.
Compostable BioPlastic Mulch Films
High Performance, Soil Biodegradable Ground Cover
A good biodegradable agricultural mulch film should do two things well: improve agronomy and simplify cleanup. EcoGran™ bioplastic mulch films help with both while moderating soil temperature. Traditional PE films need to be removed and disposed off after a while but Ukhi’s compostable mulch films are designed to be incorporated into soil. This reduces disposal effort and helps with a better plant yield.

FAQs
Yes. Compostable plastic mulch films are comparable with traditional plastic films in weed suppression, soil-temperature gains, and crop growth. The only difference is the lack of disposal. EcoGran™ biopolymer films fragments and biodegrades in soil within 6–12 months.
Ukhi’s EcoGran™ compostable mulch films are engineered from our plant-based EGBF-ML granules, extruded into thin, tear resistant sheets that meet IS/ISO 17088 soil-biodegradation standards.
Service-life grades are tuned to 60-, 90-, 120-, or 150-day crop cycles. Under typical soil conditions the film loses tensile integrity after the rated period and fully mineralises within 6-12 months, per ISO 17088 test criteria.
No. Gauges and roll widths match standard mulch laying rigs. For very thin gauges (<17 µm), make tension adjustments to avoid film tearing.
Compostable plant-based mulch returns carbon to soil and improve soil organic matter and microbial activity. Multiple studies have show improved organic matter levels after repeated use of biodegradable agricultural mulch films compared with PE films.
Up-front price per roll is 30-40 % higher than PE, but growers save on removal labor, disposal fees, and potential EPR taxes on single-use plastics—often achieving cost parity or better across the season.
Yes, our natural fibers are accepted under India’s NOP-equivalent standards when used as a mulch that completely biodegrades.
