Description
Earthtwine® is a unique, environmentally friendly, biodegradable, compostable PLA crop support twine. It has been developed with local growers to ensure that each product meets the standards and expectations of the industry.
Earthtwine® will decompose fully in a composting environment, leaving no harmful residues in the process. It breaks down into water, CO₂, and biomass.
Added Benefits of Using a Compostable Twine Like Earthtwine®
- No separation required after harvest: Twine and plant material can be composted together, saving time and eliminating waste disposal challenges.
- Reduces long‑term plastic impact: Unlike conventional plastic twines, Earthtwine® avoids microplastic pollution and environmental build‑up.
- Superior to natural fibre twines: While natural fibres are compostable, they can lack the strength and softness of Earthtwine® and may harbour spores or pathogens—especially risky in warm, humid greenhouse environments.
- Engineered for greenhouse conditions: Naturally UV‑stable and built to withstand indoor temperatures and humidity. Breakdown begins only under commercial composting conditions, ensuring durability throughout the crop cycle.
