Carbon Nurture mulch film has been rigorously tested by independent laboratories, universities, and our team both in the laboratory and farm settings.  Based on extensive scientific testing of our film and similar biodegradable materials, we expect the film to naturally break down in the soil within two years or less under typical North American farming conditions. During this process, it transforms into biomass, soil organic carbon, water, and carbon dioxide—returning safely to the earth.
Because soil and climate conditions can vary widely, the rate of biodegradation may differ from field to field. Factors such as temperature, moisture, microbial activity, and soil management practices can influence how quickly the material breaks down.
We are currently undergoing additional university and farm trials across various climates, soil, and weather conditions. These studies help us better understand how the film behaves in real agricultural settings and under different environmental settings. We recommend you consult Carbon Nurture team to determine which product will best suit your needs. 
All available testing to date indicates that our mulch film is non-toxic to soil and plants and may even help improve long-term soil health. 
Our products match or exceed the physical performance of traditional polyethylene mulch films and are fully compatible with existing laying practices and equipment, making them a seamless, high-performing replacement for conventional plastic mulch.
