“It's not the usual photodegradable plastic, which then becomes microplastic.”
Providing an alternative to traditional plastic in agriculture which, not only is one of those responsible for soil contamination and is harmful to wildlife, but also involves significant disposal costs for the farmer.
“In 2019 alone, for land cultivation, livestock, fishing and aquaculture, 12.5 million tons of plastic products were used, to which 37.3 million tons must be added, triple that, for food packaging. The main uses of plastic in agriculture concern: greenhouses (3.5 million tons), mulching films (2.5 million tons) and, in third place, fodder bale protection films (1.4 million tons).
TERRALIX® is a range of biodegradable products (in a marine and/or terrestrial environment, under certain conditions) certified by TUV Austria according to the OK bio-degradable SOIL scheme and specially designed for the agriculture sector, in particular for the vineyard, but also suitable for the world of aquaculture and forestry.
The range consists of:
• mulching film
• plant protection (shelters)
• tying systems (animated ties and ligature tubes)
• hooks
• braces
• cordage
The products have the following characteristics:
• Excellent resistance to sunlight
• Resistant to water and weather
• Free of water-soluble or oxo-degradable additives

The actual impact generated (compared to other biodegradable polymers) on the market is not declared.
Biodegradability (not compostability) is guaranteed under “certain conditions”, so it is very important to report the prohibition of abandoning products in soil or other environments (as is often the case for parts of shelters that end up shredded)

The company is composed of a multidisciplinary team that has chosen to put its skills to good use to contribute to the solution of problems related to plastics, developing advanced bioplastics that effectively replace traditional plastics, without compromising the quality and performance of the applications. The range of materials produced are derived from natural raw materials and are completely biodegradable under specific conditions.
