Within
the agricultural economy and the gardening sector mulch foils made of biodegradable
material and flower pots made of decomposable bioplastics are predominantly used
due to their adjustable lifespan and the fact that these materials do not leave
residues in the soil. This helps reduce work and time (and thus cost) as these
products can simply be left to decompose, after which they are ploughed in to
the soil. Plant
pots used for flowering and vegetable plants can be composted along with
gardening and kitchen litter.
Cost
reducing effects can also be seen when using yarns, tapes and clips made of biodegradable
material that are used to secure high-growing plantations and citrus plants. Products
that have typically/traditionally been used and that are based on conventional
materials have to be removed manually after the harvest. This step can be
avoided by using biodegradable products that can be composted along with the
plants.
Compostable
seed belts and active component capsulations made out of bioplastics have also
proven to be beneficial. Additionally, biodegradable foils and nets are used for
farming/growing mushrooms and the coating of tree and bush-roots. The products that
are sold in market-gardens increasingly consist of degradable bioplastics. Foils, yarns and nets made out of bioplastics help
to secure freshly created slopes and mounds and protect them from erosion until
the roots of the plants have developed sufficiently.
In
cemeteries, the use of plant baskets and pots made of biologically degradable materials
is both convenient and cost-efficient.
Operators
of golf courses can benefit from the use of bioplastics by using degradable bioplastic
tees. This makes the collection of the remaining tees an obsolete practice; the
tees simply remain in the ground to decompose.
