Photo-biodegradation mulching films

Project Reference QLK5-CT-2001-42429, Development of a 100% Biodegradable and Photo-selective Mulch Film for Sustainable Agriculture Running from 2001-12-17 to 2002-04-16. [Pg.634]

Photo-biodegradable polyethylene using the above system was developed commercially for use in agriculture by D. Gilead of Plastopil Hazorea in Israel in collaboration with the author and is now widely used as Plastor in mulching films in Europe and Plastigone in the USA. It is also used in polypropylene baler twines as Cleanfields by AMBRACO in the USA, and in controlled release fertilisers as Nutri-cote by Chisso-Asahi Fertilizer Company in Japan. The biodegradation mechanism will be discussed below. [Pg.102]

Another interesting example of biodegradation by the use of Chryseobacterium eum for the decomposition of photo-degraded linear lower-density polyethylene (LLDPE) [42]. LLDPE is used extensively in agricultural plastics such as films used in greenhouses and mulches. Kim and Jeon [42] discuss the degradation of UV-treated LLDPE with the meso-philic bacterium. [Pg.149]
