PHA Agricultural Film
Engineered for professional agriculture, this UV-stabilized biodegradable mulch eliminates the labor and disposal burden of traditional plastic film recovery. Tunable degradation kinetics allow farmers to match film lifespan to specific crop cycles. Proven performance across diverse climates from Mediterranean orchards to Northern European vegetable operations.
Key Benefits
- Full biodegradation by soil microorganisms - zero removal labor
- UV additives ensure functional integrity through growing season
- Excellent water vapor barrier reduces irrigation frequency 30-40%

Frequently Asked Questions About PHA Agricultural Film
What is PHA Agricultural Film made of?
PHA Agricultural Film is made from 100% PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates), a bio-based polyester produced by bacterial fermentation of renewable feedstock. Unlike petroleum-based plastics, PHA is derived from non-food plant sugars using Chinese indigenous bacterial strains. The material is certified by BPI, TUV Austria (OK Compost HOME, OK Compost MARINE), and DIN CERTCO for complete biodegradation in ocean, soil, home compost, and industrial compost environments.
How long does PHA Agricultural Film take to biodegrade?
PHA Agricultural Film biodegrades completely within 6-24 months (adjustable via formulation). In industrial composting facilities (58°C+), degradation occurs in 3-6 months. In marine environments, complete biodegradation takes 1-3 years. The process produces only CO2, water, and biomass — no microplastics or toxic residues remain.
What certifications does PHA Agricultural Film hold?
PHA Agricultural Film holds Soil Degradable, OK Compost INDUSTRIAL, EN 17033, ASTM D6400. These certifications verify that the product meets international standards for biodegradability, compostability, and food contact safety. PHApack products are tested per EN 13432, ASTM D6400, ISO 14855, and ASTM D6691 standards by independent laboratories.
What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?
The standard MOQ for PHA Agricultural Film is 500 kg. Lead time is typically 15-25 days after order confirmation. For custom OEM orders with specific dimensions, colors, or branded printing, lead time may extend to 25-35 days. Trial orders from 100kg are available for evaluation.
Can PHA Agricultural Film be customized with our brand logo?
Yes, PHApack provides full OEM/ODM services for PHA Agricultural Film. Customization options include custom dimensions, colors, flexographic printing up to 6 colors, private label packaging, and branded embossing. Our R&D team can also develop custom PHA formulations tailored to your specific application requirements, including MFI optimization and additive packages.
